Legal Question in Immigration Law in Maryland

If you are married to an immigrant who will be applying for a green card after marriage (and who came to USA legally on a visa, which might have expired by now) -- you will have to petition and sponsor your foreign spouse.

You will execute the Affidavit of Support, promising support your spouse. For the Affidavit of support, for a household size of two people, a sponsor must be earlining above $18,212 a year. If there are dependent children or other dependents, this minimum income amount will go up.

Filing governmental fees are less than $1,600 (for a straightforward adjustment of status).

Hi,

If only you and your husband (when you are married) will reside in your household, then you would be required to earn $18,212 as per the latest guidelines (2009). However, it may be possible to combine your income with your husband's, or for someone else to file an affidavit of support as well.
