Can’t find the info anywhere on this. My wife and I got married couple weeks ago and are working on filing forms I-130, -a, and I-485. Generally, it says that you’re supposed to wait for the response/approval of I-130/-a, before filing I-485, but in some cases you may file concurrently. One of the conditions is if you’re an immediate relative of a citizen, but my wife is a permanent resident. On the internet we found a few websites where people say you can, but I don’t know for sure.
In addition, I know I have to file form I-944, declaration of self sufficiency, but I was also told that we’re supposed to file I-864, affidavit of support. As far as the two of us go, my wife is a full time student and doesn’t really have a stable job (especially during COVID), I am the one who’s working, so I-944 is a piece of cake, but what are we to do about I-864? Is it required? If so, what if she, as my spouse and a main applicant (me being the beneficiary) can’t support me, but I can support the both of us?
