Legal Question in Immigration Law in Georgia

Yes, you can now apply for adjustment of status based on a marriage to a US citizen. Your wife should petition for you (if she hasn't done it already), and you apply for adjustment of status.

Sometimes, an intending immigrant can use his income for the purpose of the Affidavit of Support.

If you are eligible and all is properly applied and filed, you can become a permanent resident within 4-6 months.

Because this is a public forum (not confidential communication), I can't tell you here specifically what you should file.

Hi,

Immigration law is federal law and is the same irrespective of location. Normally all sponsorship paperwork such as I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, G325, I-864, etc. is filed concurrently based on marriage to a U.S. citizen in order to expedite the sponsorship, but there could be additional forms that should be filed as well. The selection of paperwork that should be properly prepared and filed is determined by your unique case. In most cases the I-864A will allow you to combine your income with your wife's income as noted in her I-864.
