Legal Question in Immigration Law in Indiana

I'm not a U.S citizen, but I'm currently on a F-1 visa(valid). I got married with a U.S citizen in the U.S. Both of us are very young, we are still in college. And we both doesn't have a job.

I know he needs to sponsor me or someone else need to co-sponsor/joint sponsor us.However, we can't find somebody would be able to do that.His parents is not supportive. So for his parents to sponsor us is out of the question. My parents is very supportive toward our marriage, but they are not U.S citizen. So they can't sponsor.

We are really urgent about this problem. Because for me to be able to stay with my husband, I really need a Green card before my F-1 visa expires.

And there is no way he would be able to make enough income to sponsor me, and there is no way we will be able to find someone to sponsor us.

Is there any other way we can do? Please help.Thanks in advance.

I understand your situation and your worries. You will either need to show that your income meets federal poverty guidelines for sponsorship (both your incomes can be added together) or you will have to find a joint sponsor. There is no way out of this 'public charge' legal requirement.
