Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: INS interview

It may not matter but you really should consult an Immigration Attorney, if in Southern California. Please send me an email with your contact information and we can discuss your particular facts.

Re: INS interview

Yes, it could prevent your green card case from being approved since your husband's income needed to sponsor you will not be enough unless he has sufficient assets to cover the difference.

You may want to think about quickly getting another US citizen with sufficient income to be a joint sponsor who can file a new Affidavit of Support for you. Any adult who's a citizen can do this, maybe a friend or a relative of you guys. That will solve the problem a lot of times.

Re: INS interview

It depends on a couple of things: 1. whether you can substitute assets for income to meet the poverty guidelines; and/or 2. whether you have a job; and/or you have a joint sponsor.

If you have none of the above, then you could have a problem.
