Default USC laid off 2 weeks before wedding.

Hi,

I currently working on a H1-B visa that expires at the end of December. I was not
planning on renewing it as I am getting married in 2 weeks and was going to file for
an EAD and AP (we have been planning the wedding for 12 months). Unfortunatly my
future wife was laid off at the end of last week and has now filed for unemployment
but now obviously cannot get a letter from her employer.

Are we going to have to wait to file adjustment of status until she gets a new job or
would a co-sponser work (even though I make over the minimum required)?

Thanks.

Never mind, I re-read the forms and found the answer.

If you have been living with your fiancee for over
6 months does that make you part of the household
for I-864, or do you have to be married and living
together over 6 months to be able to use immigrants
income?

Thank you,

Prasad

It's been my opinion that unmarried, living together (documented, of course) makes for a shared household. Andy Platt seems to agree with me while Rete has and hasn't, IIRC.
Does anyone have any real world experience with this to share?

married or not, if you reside in the same household for at least 6 months, you are a
household member in the eyes of the INS, so if that's the case, the immigrant's
income can be used for the I-864.
