I am planning on marrying my boyfriend who is a US citizen. I finished grad school a few months ago and I am now job hunting on OPT. My boyfriend won't finish his degree program until Summer 2012. He goes to school full time and doesn't work. We plan on getting married soon and I was wondering if there would be a problem adjusting my status since he does not work. I know he would not be able to file the Affidavit of Support. His mother is willing to act as my sponsor since he lives with her. The issue is he has never filed taxes for himself. I was told by a friend of mine that since he has never filed taxes, he would not be able to petition for me at all. I just want to validate this information. Could anyone provide some information on this issue? I would greatly appreciate it.
