Is Income Sufficient or should I use a sponser? AOS for K1 entry

[RaheelS 6]

Hello VJ

 

My wife came to the United States in March 2020 as a K1, I was filing for AOS, I just wanted to confirm if my income would be sufficient for AOS or should I use a sponser. I am the USC spouse and I make around $30/35K a year at age 27 (I'm being this specific for more context of my situation). I did check the 2020 federal poverty guidelines for the household income. I believe for 1 person without any dependents on his tax returns, my income should be enough, but I wanted to ask this question to people who have gone through this process to give their inputs.

You need to meet 125% of the poverty line, which is 21550. If you make more than that, you should be okay.
