There is no way to put it sweetly but I am deep in the gutter, sandwiched in the worst situation of my life.
Years ago, I met this family that needed help with their daughter's lack of company and around the house, go on some nice trips. I thought it would make for a nice life experience so I flew a continent away with a B2. My life was honestly not the best. Little did I know that I would become so invested in all of them and my life would turn around. The daughter and I fell deeply in love, I've never thought I'd meet a literal clone of me. As they say, soul mate. One night after we watched a show, she clung onto me tightly and sobbed her heart out. We both knew I had to go back and this was tearing my heart to pieces because I've finally found someone who I can see a future with. Kids. An everlasting bond. Covid was starting to hit and my country's hospital would basically leave me to die. I knew there was no chance for me in hell that I'd ever get to see her again in those conditions. So we decided to get married after a lot of tears. She is a citizen of US.
Both young and with deep fear in our hearts, we lived wondering what we're gonna do. We had no money. After almost two years through the struggles we finally have money for the i130 and i485 but none for a lawyer so we would have to do it ourselves. Is there any chance I could successfully go through this process with two financially supporting family members (not including her)? We don't have any joint accounts as we cannot spare money for running bank accounts. We can provide proof we're paying rent/bills but that's all. I desperately need help and to know because I don't want to be stuck unable to provide for her and our future kids. I desperately need a job but I need a green card. But all I can think is that it will all come crashing down and I'll be deported. I just want to be with my family that I hold dear. I don't want to be separated from them. Please. Are those two forms the only things I need to start the process? Do I begin with the i130 form, wait then apply for i485? I just want to be with my loving family and not see my wife or her parents cry after me.
