My girlfriend is a F1 graduate student getting her master next summer. Shortly prior to that we intend to get married and do a concurrent filing to adjust her status. I am self-employed. I have several questions about the Afiidavit of Support:
1. The poverty guidelines refer to Gross Income on my C schedule or my Adjusted Gross Income on the 1040 form of my return?
2. In the instructions there is a comment that USCIS may also require the 1099s in addition to IRS transcripts -- anybody knows whether this is routine, or just in certain cases?
3. Optionally my girfriend assets can also be listed -- do you know if this can help, or it's unlikely? I've been told that cash is usually not considered, but money market accounts are. Is that true?
Any further insights or experience with this will be appreciated.
