I am getting married to USC GF and planning to file GC soon after. She is working for a seasonal job and so does not make too much . But I am working as full time employee with salary of 75k. Can she add my salary for sponsoring me? Also would I be able to change job after getting GC?

I am currently on F1 Visa and my current employer filled my H1B, still can't I use my Income?I was reading i-864 guide and found out something diffrent"If your income alone is not sufficient to meet the requirement for your household size, the intending immigrant will be ineligible for an Immigrant Visa or adjustment of status, unless the requirement can be met using any combination of the following:What If I Cannot Meet the Income Requirements?Income from the intending immigrant, if that income will continue from the same source after Immigration, and if the intending immigrant is currently living in your residence. If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be counted regardless of current residence, but it must continue from the same source after he or she becomes a lawful permanent resident.Income from any relatives or dependents living in your household or dependents listed on your most recent Federal tax return who signed a Form I-864A;"they did not mention about type of visa any where
if that income will continue from the same source after immigration,
That is the key phrase. An F1 income is not a continuing source per the USCIS decisions. That is what lawyers are for. We know these things. I thought that is why you asked an expert. For me to give you the information that USCIS does not offer but that we gain through our experience which makes us an expert.
Once you start working on your H1B you can use the source of income.
