Hi,
I am in the US on a H1B and I just got married to a USC last month.
I am about to file I-130/I-485. The application procedure says that my wife must file an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) but it also says that "this requirement may not apply to you if you are adjusting to permanent resident status based on an employment petition."
Does that mean that I can submit evidence of self-support instead? If so, what documents would I need to submit?
I may need to post this next question in another forum. My 6th year of H1B status runs out in January. Does anyone know the best way for me to stay in status while my GC application is being processed? I don't know whether I need to file for a 7th year extension of my H1B, whether filing I-765 would be sufficient or whether I need to do something else.
Thanks for any insight you can give. Cheers,
Paul
