Your husband should file the I-130 and you the I-485 soon. Since you entered the country legally, you still can file the I-485 after your F-1 status expires. But I would not wait too long. If there are just the 2 of you, your husband's GI bill income of $2,000 a month should be enough to support the affidavit of support. But Immigration may ask for a co-sponsor if the income is temporary. How long will he receive this income? Is your husband a student too and not working? I would file the papers now and if your husband's affidavit of support is not adequate, you should be given an opportunity to get a co-sponsor. Also, will you be able to get a job soon? You can get EAD after you file the I-485 package. You can add your income to your husband's in the same affidavit. You may be able to do this at the interview.
