what to do after death of sponsor

[mi_illusion_st 0]

My husbands sponsor(my mother) died unexpectedly and now I do not know what to do in regards to the aos process and I can not find another sponsor.

can he file for ead and then sponsor himself later on?

Yes, your husband's income can be included with your income on the affidavit - if it is verifiable and if it is from legal employment.

Have you already filed his adjustment?

No I have not.

You don't have to stick with the sponsor you used for the K1.

If your income is insufficient to meet the criteria for filing, it's perfectly acceptable to use another sponsor.

But you must either sponsor your husband yourself, or locate another sponsor, to file the AOS. Your husband cannot obtain his EAD without a concurrent adjustment filing.

I'm sorry to learn about your Mother. I'm sure you don't need to be worrying about your husband's adjustment on top of mourning her.

I'm really sorry to hear about your mom.

Any close friends that could help you by being a co-sponsor? Any assets?

I really really hate to sound morbid but will you be getting any life insurance money or inheritance that you could use towards the affidavit of support?

We're trying to help.....

I guess we aren't understanding your question?

He can't file for his EAD without filing for AOS at the same time. They have to be filed concurrently.

Your husband's income could be used on the affidavit, but he has to have work authorization first, because for his income to count it has to be from legally authorized employment. Many people have filed for adjustment using a joint sponsor, and then 'switched' sponsors at the interview table IF the immigrant spouse has been able to find employment since the first affidavit was filed.

If you could find any sympathetic soul to be his co-sponsor, you might want to give this option a try. There's an element of risk to it (ie your husband finding work in time) but it is possible.
