Little Question About AOS Filing and Explaining my Situatino to NVC

[srogue 0]

Hey guys, im about to mail my AOS package today, and was wondering if I should include a letter explaining my job situation to them? I am having my mom co-sponsor, using I-864A. My situation is that I was working for a company from August 2008 until March 2009 making 28k a year, and got laid off. Before August 2008, I didn't have steady employment due to helping care for a sick grandmother, going to school, and other things. Then in February of 2009 I went and got married, came back and didn't have a job anymore the day I returned. I job searched for a couple months till I went to work for a place making 8.00 an hour, and then had another 2nd job working part time for some extra money.

Then I went and visited my wife again in August, and that further reduced my earnings this year, but I still have the same 8.00 an hour job, at full time that I had before I left (cool people at this place, even if the pay isn't that good.)

I also have a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and can get a job that pays well eventually, its just difficult in this economy right now.

So my question is, shoudl I write them a letter explaining all this, or is it irrelevant since I have a co-sponsor? I just don't want them thinking im a bum and won't take care of my wife... but would telling them all this just slow things down or cause potential problems?

What do you guys think? Let me know, i'll be sending this package today!

no you don't since your i-864 (and accompanying docs) already reflects your employment situation and you have a co=sponsor to back you up (which means you pass the 125% above poverty income requried). you should be ok.

good luck and god bless!
