My wife and I were married on tuesday and now need to file for adjustment of status, we are a bit confused about the form I944 declaration of self sufficiency. Since she is not able to work yet and therefore unable to be self sufficient, does that mean I will list my ability to support her again like I did when proving it for her to come here on K1 visa? thanks!

No. She completes the form based on her current situation. Don’t overthink it.

The I-944 is more more in depth.......and it centers around the new immigrant.....but includes your (as part of the household) assets and total financial status.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Thank you for the replies. They seem a bit conflicted though. So I DO need to file I944 with my I484 adjustment of status correct? It is about her financial info but we can list my income/assets as well? Are the requirements the same as K1, I just need to be above the poverty guidelines? (I was approved on that) is this step something that often gives people problems at this step in our Visa journey? sorry for all the questions I'm just worried about this now after we've been through so much and just finally tied the knot.

The I-944 MUST be submitted as part of the I-485 package.  It is totally separate from the I-864 which must also be submitted.  The I-944 form clearly states  which part pertains to the new immigrant and which parts include household members....

 

I get the impression that you haven't yet looked at the form........

Thanks for the reply, you are right, I have been away for work since our wedding on Tuesday and my wife and I have been trying to communicate about this over phone messenger so I haven't been able to read the form entirely yet. I just needed some info and thought I'd ask here. I will wait until I'm home before I continue to work on it.
