Green card interview: Sponsor out of a job but I (petitioner) have one. Do I need a co-sponsor?

[Smagnan 0]

Hi,

 

I recently received the notice to appear at the green card interview (it has been under "ready to schedule an interview" for over a year now).

 

My wife and I have a decent amount of money saved, and I am currently working (EAD) and making more than enough to meet the poverty threshold for the affidavit of support. The thing is, my wife (sponsor) has been out of a job since the end of last year (for personal reasons: online school enrollment and others). So on the first version of the affidavit we provided she was the provider, and she can also provide proof of meeting the threshold basically for all 2020. As for 2021, I am the sole source of income of the household.

 

Will this be an issue for the interview? Do I need to find a co-sponsor? Or are our bank statements + my pay stubs enough? Or do they only care about the initial affidavit of support?

 

I am not sure this will even be an issue / looked at but as I am the applicant and she is the sponsor, I am not sure I can be the one used for the source of income. I couldn't find any clear documentation about this online.

 

Thank you!
