We are living in the state of Virginia. My husband has a disability and is on a fixed income. I'm his dependent and he is not eligible for financially sponsoring me (under $10,000/year - under poverty income guideline). We don't have any other investments or assets besides our monthly fixed income. Since, I don't have anybody to sponsor me (I also asked some churches and had no luck).
1. Is it possible that I-864 can be waived due to my husband's disability and me being his dependent? Otherwise, I feel it would be discrimination, since he has a disability.
2. Since, I apply for adjustment of residence (I-485) and at this time I cannot submit I-864 affidavit of support. Is there a way that I can get at least my work authorization (without I-864), so that I can go work and earn money for us?
Financially, we cannot afford to wait until I find a affidavit of support (maybe in a few months or so) in order to get my work authorization and to be able to work.
I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks, Orela.
