huh? well the u.s. government was very interested in my financial status when I did it for my wife.. In fact if I didn't meet basic income requirements we wouldn't even be chatting right now.. interesting - maybe (probably) because they got Married in the U.S.A. and she was already legally here, the financial thing doesn't come into play the same way with a K1.. although they did require the co/joint sponsor to show the income.. very confusing. But hey that's the U.S. immigration system lol

why is it irrelevant? without the co/joint-sponsor she would have been rejected handily - the American she married is completely broke, no assets, no job, nothing.

the fight just happened 2 days ago and she's living with us now, I let her know your comment.. she was worried how it's going to affect her status.. I guess time will tell. https://www.peoples-law.org/how-will-divorce-or-separation-affect-my-immigration-status

thanks for the info - yes she has the in hand GC so I guess that means she can work without the EAD? So I guess the answer is there's really not much she can do until either the American files for divorce or apply for removal 90 days before in 2026 ? she just saw this and is going to try and sign up here..

Hi all, any help here would be appreciated. My wife's friend is going through this ugly situation.. She came here on H-2B ,(educated long term worker for toyota in philippines), fell in love with American , court marriage in Florida 3/8/23 just before the H-2B expired. Approved i485 & i130 in Jan, got green card 1/3/24 expires 2026 EAD combo card issued, good until 2028 Has valid Philippines & Florida Drivers licenses. this is where it gets sketchy - they needed joint sponsor from San Francisco (filipina good friend). American is broke , ineligible to sponsor. American bounced first i765 / i485 check, had to redo everything after case rejection. 2nd time around she used money-order and finally went thru.. They just had big fight, she moved out. He will probably file for divorce, but hasn't yet.. She is 44, has family in the U.S. - She is working for Mitsubishi now in Florida and they offered to sponsor if things don't work out.. Also her good friend in San Francisco is willing to sponsor.. Any feedback on what she should do is greatly appreciated.

ok now i get it, my wife fills out the regular i-864 and I fill out the i-864A i hope this is the very last time I ever have to deal with evil immigration for the rest of my life.

after looking at both the i-864 and i-864A the A looks easier. So are you saying we need to submit both an i-864 and i-864A this is getting more confusing by the second!

wow thanks for the info but it still doesn't solve my dilemma lol - I qualify as both household member and joint.

unfortunately I have no idea what you are talking about, my question was related to the other thread, but if you want a new one then great.. thanks for your help.

hi this joint sponsor vs household member thing is ridiculously unnecessarily confusing.. as is most things from the government. maybe someone can help? My filipina wife is now a U.S. Citizen. We went through the whole process to get her mother to the U.S.A., took OVER 1 year, and now we just paid the fees & have to fill out the AOS portion of the NVC case. My wife has 0 income, sort of I guess, we do file jointly so technically our incomes are combined I think.. Anyway, i'm the one with the money so as my wife's husband am I a household member or joint ? looks like I qualify as both. From what's posted here it looks like I should choose the joint option ? thanks in advance
