Wife's health getting bad, no employment - Affidavit of Support questions

[HappyGoLucky897]

My wife has multiple sclerosis and her health has worsened. She cannot work anymore and receives disability support. She also has approximately $24,000 in student and car loan debt.

We have been married for 8 months now and because her health has gotten worse and her parents don't help her, we've decided it's best I apply for adjustment of status so that I can take care of her living in the US.

USCIS' requirement is that the sponsor's (my wife) income cannot be less than the 125% current Federal poverty guideline which is $20,025 (household of 2 - my wife and me)

Because she has no employment-based income besides the disability benefits (which is not much even to take care of her medical needs), these are the options I've got so far:

USCIS' option 1: if sponsor's income is not sufficient, the sponsor (my wife) can include personal assets:
I have over $30,000 saved. Can I deposit that in my wife's bank account - Can that count towards her personal assets to meet the requirement?

USCIS' option 2: If still not sufficient, include qualifying household member's income:
Can I count as the qualifying household member considering she and I only live in our apartment? Or does the qualifying household member have to only be a US citizen or permanent resident?

USCIS' option 3: joint sponsor:
Can I deposit the $30,000 in my wife's mother's bank account - will that meet the requirement?

Please let me know, how we can fulfill the Affidavit of Support's requirements. I open to your recommendations about other options too please.

Also, my F-1 student visa I-765 Employment Authorization (EAD) only allows me to work for software engineering based jobs because USCIS' rule for F-1 students is that I can only work for jobs directly related to the degree I got in graduate school - Computer Science.

My supervisor wants to make me the junior project manager (!!) because of good understanding of both software development and interpersonal skills but the company's policy is that managerial roles are only for permanent resident/citizens as of now.

If I file a I-765 with the Adjustment of Status applicattion and I get the Conditional Green Card, I will be allowed to work for any kind of industry or profession because there are no work limitations to the family-based I-765 EAD work permit, right?

I welcome your answers

once u receive the work permit u can work for any company u want with no restrictions. $30,000 isn't enough the fact is that ur wife isn't currently working, so u will need a joint sponsor. someone who has a green card or us citizen who make above poverty guideline according to their household size.

the point of sponsor and the qualifying income is to reduce fraud. it's up to your sponsor (wife or mother in law) to prove they can support you and you won't become a burden of the state!

putting that much amount in your mother in law's account is not an advisable idea. it don't look good in the eyes of USCIS. i suggest you self sponsor and this can be tricky. i suggest you read up on USCIS website regarding self sponsoring
