I am a US citizen and plan to marry my boyfriend really soon he lives here . I am currently unemployed due too COVID. My 2019 gross income was 21,800$ and i have enough assets to meet the affidavit of support requirement. I just wanna know if my unemployment situation is going to be a problem eith my case. Do i need a lawyer? And another question, if i apply green card for him on January 2021, do they need 2020 income or still can show them 2019 ? Thank you
If you apply on January 2021, all you have to provide is your most recent tax return, which would be the 2019 return. Based on your numbers, if your adjusted gross income was $21,800, for a household of two, you would meet the minimum income requirements. Typically, once the interview is held they would like to see the most recent tax information, the most recent income information preferably they require a letter from your employer and W-2 statements or paystub's the last two months of pay stubs showing what you're currently making. Do you need a lawyer? It would help the case if you Had one.
