    Default Undocumented Student Marrying Citizen Student

    Entered the US legally through tourist visa and overstayed at the age of 14. Now I'm 21, finishing engineering school in college.

    I am planning on marrying my girlfriend who is also a college student. We have been together for the past 3 years.

    The only issue that I see is that she does not have an income to make it above poverty line. Can there be a sponsor? And how do I do this? I have relatives that are citizens and make more than enough money.


    Let me know if I got the adjust of status process wrong/right:
    -Get legally married
    -Fill out the i-130 (petition of alien relative) and the i-485 (adjust status)
    -There will be an interview (when? approx. 12 months after filing the forms?)
    -Temporary green card will be given after interview
    -90 days before 2 years anniversary, get the permanent green card (10 years). Any more interviews?


    Thanks in advance for your responses. I appreciate all your help.

    If your fiancée does not have the assets or income to sponsor you, you will need to find a sponsor or cosponsor who does have sufficient assets and income.

    There are hundreds of threads outlining the process in various levels of detail.
