Legal Question in Immigration Law in Hawaii

Change of status denied, now what happens

My wife entered the country 14

months on a K-1 visa. We married

and had a child. WE applied for

change of status. At the interview it

was determined that income for

affidavit of support was insufficient. I

was given 84 days to show sufficient

income or get joint sponsor. What is

her status if I cannot do this? What

about the baby? She was born in the

US. I do not want her to leave the

country. My wife is unhappy here

and wants to return to her country,

but does not want to leave the baby.

What are my rights? The marriage is

bust. I am prepared to take are of

the baby myself.

You may show sufficient income through a joint-sponsor as well who does make enough to satisfy the affidavit of support requirement.
