Green card through wife, can I contribute with my own income?

[mkrausch]

My situation is as follows: I am German, my wife is American. I came here is a graduate student and am working legally as part of the F-1 optional practical training program. I'd like to apply for a green card, however, my wife is a student and has no income. I'd like to avoid having a co-sponsor. I on the other hand have a very well paying job. Can my income be used for the green card application?

Hello,
Yes you can suppliment your income even your spouse income do not qualify. See i864 instructions- page 9 , point #6. It explains that you can add up your income.

Hope it helps.
