Hi all,

I hope someone here can give me some information. I am an american citizen living with my spouse in Portugal. She is applying for a J1 visa and has a sponsoring institution.
First question: We are recently married and have not completed any paperwork on the american side of things. Will she be considered my spouse? If not what is the procedure?
Second question: There is a substantial financial requirement for her visa. Is she still subject to this even if I am traveling with her? If so can I serve as her financial sponsor, and if so what sort of documentation is needed.
Thank you for any ifo you can give me
