it's 125% combined if I'm not wrong. Now, when did you got married, how long have you been living with your husband (together)? Even if he doesn't (or didn't) work while married you guys should've filed for Taxes, the most important is MARRIED, FILLING JOINTLY. Even if his part is nil. For the first document that I submitted my assets were barely (including her stuff) minimal. She was going to go to school full time and that was how I met her. Also, she was living with her parents before she move in with me. So, I remember that I put her car, my car, her income (which was not even part-time) and the money that my parents sent me for school. It was miserable because we tried to find sponsors but I knew that at the time of the interview (which was 2 1/2 years later) I would be able to file way above 125% with just only my salary, including hers, of course, was way more. In the final interview he asked for the 1099's and that was it... I got it approved, 12 days after I got in the mail the permanent GC (because it was over 2yrs). If you give me a time line it might be a little better.
