The income of the foreign national who is applying for a green card based on marriage to a US citizen, can be counted as income needed to meet the financial thresholds required. However, that income can only count if it is acquired during the time the foreign national (you) has legal permission to work in the US. Additionally, if you can't meet the minimum income financial requirements based on your sponsors or your income, you can alternatively use your own assets to qualify. This is a formula that factors in household size, income and assets and varies on a case by case basis.
