EAD, Advance payroll and Income requirement

[immquestion]

Hi, my spouse is here on an F1 visa since 2017 and I am a US citizen. for 2019 out joint tax return was $26,000 and I did not work for 2019 just started working two months back. Out joint income for 2020 will be more than $40,000

if we apply for AOS for my spouse, Does the USCIS check the income stuff for issuing the EAD and Advance payroll? will we get a REF if for now we are only concerned for EAD and Advance payroll? or they only do the background check for EAD and AP?

Thanks

I assume you mean EAD and advance parole (AP)?

From what I understand, the I-864 is not directly related to I-765 (EAD) or I-131 (AP) approval.

However, if there are problems with the I-864, the USCIS may do one of three things: (i) reject the application; (ii) issue an RFE; or (iii) deny the application.

(i) If the application is rejected, you have no basis for the EAD or AP.

(ii) If an RFE is issued, the EAD and AP may still be processed.

(iii) If the application is denied, then the EAD and AP will also be denied (if pending) or would become invalid (if issued).
