I lived in the U.S. for 12 years while on H1B and now my daughter wants to sponsor my wife and me for a green card. I know I am eligible for a waiver of an affidavit of support because I have earned 40 quarters of employment in the U.S., but does my wife need an affidavit of support?

Answer

No. Ordinarily, one’s wife in this situation would not need an affidavit of support, because she can be credited with your 40 quarters of employment. (03.Sep.2024)
