I am a soon-to-be LPR and my fiance is in the US on an F-1 visa. Both of us are full time students and do not work. Basically I will be petitioning for her to live in the US as an LPR. So here are the questions. 1. Does either of us need to prove our sufficient financial ability (i.e. a bank statement)? If yes, How many years do we have to show the financial support for and can the sources be changed once the beneficiary has her own source of income/job? Can a student loan be used for this purpose? 2. If the sponsor cannot show financial support how much money does the joint sponsor have to show on an annual basis? 3. Can other forms such as I-765(Application for Employment Authorization), I-944(Declaration of Self-Sufficiency) be filed later separately? 4. What documents can be concurrently filed along with I-130 (i.e. I-485, I-765, etc.)? 5. What supporting documents are necessary from our parents? (i.e. evidence of parental relationship from home country) Thank you.
Follow the instructions. Each form has a set of instructions that will answer each of your questions. If still confused then retain counsel to represent you. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you. Good luck.
