Would immigration approve for my spouse to come over to the states ?Can I marry someone overseas if i work a minimum wage job at like mcdonalds or something?
Might take a while to earn enough money at Mcdonalds to go overseas and marry, unless her family is paying. However, you do need to meet the 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines to file an adequate Affidavit of Support before she can be approved for an immigrant visa. At the moment, that would require you to show an income of at least $18,212. However, it is possible to get a friend or relative to fill out an I-864 as a joint sponsor promising to help out, and if you can do that, it would still be possible to approve the immigrant visa. It costs $345 at the moment to file the petition, and $400 for the immigrant visa interview as well.
Your job doesn't affect your ability to marry.Can I marry someone overseas if i work a minimum wage job at like mcdonalds or something?
if you earn enough to cover the affidavit of support ...about $19K a year
but why get married to live in poverty
and there is the cost of gong through the process which can be about $2000
If you don't make 125% of the poverty level for a family of 2, you will need a joint sponsor. The joint sponsor will be committed to repay any government means tested benefits that your spouse gets.
You and/or him will also need about $2,000 for filing expenses and other fees. Much more if you need a lawyer to handle the complexities of immigration.Can I marry someone overseas if i work a minimum wage job at like mcdonalds or something?
Yes you can, but if you don't make $18,212 a year you will need a joint sponsor who makes enough to sponsor your wife. It is easier to get a K1 fiance visa to bring the person here and then get married. You can see how it is done here:
