    Default F1 Visa Marry to a U.S. Citizen

    Hello everybody. I am an international student. My partner and I live and go to college in Rochester, New York. We are going to get marriage in next month. She works as a nail technician(part-time) with a low income. She divorced and has 3 children. She is 7 years older than me. We have been living together more than a year here. My questions are.
    Do i have any problems if I change my current status (Visa F1) to green card? If my partner's income is not enough to sponsor for me, does her relatives can help us out? Does my partner have to work continuously in 3 years to sponsor for me? How much income does she need to qualify sponsor for me in minimum?
    Thank you in advance. I am looking forward to your feedback.

    You mean if you marry your partner and seek to adjust your status based on marriage? We don't know the background facts here, so although problems can arise based upon the facts, we have nothing that would distinguish your chance of problems from any other F1 student in a similar situation.

    If somebody else is willing to sponsor or cosponsor you so as to meet the threshold, they can do so.

    You need a qualified sponsor (or sponsors). Read this.

    She must show that her household income is equal to or higher than 125% of the U.S. poverty level for her household size.
