self-sufficiency

[caveman1520 0]

Simple life is a beautiful life BUT....I need to file for my spouse but we live self-sufficiently, completely off-grid with no debt, no credit, no payments, no income taxes,.... We choose happiness instead of a rat race... We are independent and ahead, but we have nothing to show for from USCIS perspective considering income, financial ties, except for the property ownership. I have an additional sponsor but  I am scratching my head about packaging it all together when there is a lack of any documentation most people have. Would a letter of explanation with a couple of affidavits overcome this? Thank you.

Affidavits are useless.  Where do you currently reside?

All USCIS documents are signed under penalty of perjury so an affidavit that just repeats something in there is useless. You will have details of (no) income, explain why no tax returns etc in there anyway. I’m not sure what you would put in an affidavit? 

 

You may be asked how your self sufficiency would cover a medical crisis. Do you have medical insurance? Could your sponsor cover the costs of a major medical emergency for someone who does not qualify for medicaid?

The issues you site can be overcome with a Joint sponsor and an explanation as to why you were not required to file income taxes.  Where is your spouse?

Joint sponsor is in place. The spouse is here.

What is her current status?  How did she enter the US?  Are you a US citizen?  These are very important questions.

Great.   You should read and study this guide for adjustment of status.

It is very highly recommended that you file the I-485 package prior to the expiration of her I-94.  Good luck in your journey.
