I haven't seen this discussed anywhere and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this.

 

We have filed I-485 adjusting from a K-1 and the supporting I-864.  Like most people with similar timelines the process has taken much longer than we expected when we started, and if I can believe the various estimates we're probably looking at an approval in Q3/Q4 this year.

 

I'm considering retiring sometime this year and am wondering if this would somehow delay the process since obviously the I-864 info would no longer apply.  I can imagine being asked to confirm the information as part of the interview and having to admit to a change.  (Note:  retirement income would still be well above the guideline minimums).

 

Luckily the timing of the retirement decision would be up to me unless something unexpected happens.  Again, my only concern would be triggering  additional administrative delay with the AOS process.

It would be a good idea to take an updated I-864, and supporting evidence, to the interview with you. My income changed while our AOS was processing and that's what I did.  We were still above the guideline minimum, so it was not a problem at all. The IO didn't ask us about it, but I volunteered it and she looked at me like I was being silly and took our updated form. Enjoy your retirement! I'm enjoying mine! It's a whole new and wonderful life for us!

Thanks for sharing your experience and the idea about having an updated I-864 ready to go if asked.
