i will have my interview for k3 visa this month and i do not know whether to resign from my job or wait until i got that visa on my hand. how about you fellow vjers?

Better to wait for the visa don't finalize things coz USEM is crazy about document verification.2 weeks notice will be fine to your boss.

My company is requesting 5 weeks notice, so I intend to give my resignation 3 weeks before interview

Yes I agree. I did the same thing, resigned when my Visa is on-hand.

I resigned when my husband filed the petition so that I can go home in the province and spend time with my family and enjoy the local foods and everything Philippines has to offer. It will be a long time before I could go back again.

I think its best to keep your job. What if you are not approved at your first interview and then you don't have a job. I'm sure the money that you will make could help you out in the US or your family at home.

gave my notice after i got my visa in hand, which is 2 months before my resignation takes effect. my boss didnt forward it to our HR until my last day of work (took my terminal leave on my last month)

I resigned once I got the visa (at least 3 weeks before my scheduled flight). I needed the remaining weeks to spend with my family (gawd, it was so short).

I resigned as soon as we got our MNL case number. That was at least 3 months before I flew here. I needed the time to spend with my family, take care of personal things, enjoy the food and prepare for the medical and interview. I think it all depends on your priorities

It was a perfect timing on my part. I had my interview 2 moths after the graduation day of the preschool kids that I had been teaching and I submitted my resignation letter a few days after I turned over all the paper works.

I resigned about 2 weeks before my interview to prepare and make sure I have all the necessary documents and to spend time with my family.

I used to work for the Department of Tourism and they require at least 2 weeks notice since there's also clearances that have to be accomplished. In the Hospital, I resigned 1 month prior to my interview and with my clinics, I resigned 2 weeks prior to my interview. But that will also depend on the type of job you have, there are some jobs that needs at least 2 weeks to a month's notice prior to resignation to give them ample time to look for replacement and for the turning-over of your position.

I was in private practice so I didn't really had a hard time dealing with resigning but I made sure that I had my visa in hand before I filed for postponements of my court appearances scheduled after I received my visa and before my departure.

My then fiance and I talked that he should give me at least 2 weeks after I receive my visa to sort out everything with my work and leave my clients in good hands before I depart.
