This has been one long journey I must say. Today my wife and I received notification that she is scheduled for a interview next month to establish her permenant residency and obtain the card.

The problem is that I am a victim of this economic crisis and the company that I was working for went out of business at the end of September. I just recently started receiving unemployment benefits and have been seeking other types of employment in the mean time with no luck.

My question to this forum is does my unemployment checks count as part of our income for immigration purposes, we are a family of 6 people and need to be earning at least $40.825 annually in order to meet the guidelines for the affidavit of support for the State of Hawaii? My wife does work but only earns $26.000 annually which will not be enough unless immigration counts my unemployment benefits.

I don't want to ask immigration this question directly for I know that they will quote me directly what the rules are for the affidavit of support. Prior to being let go by my company I was earning close to $75.000 yearly. I want be able to produce a letter from my employer because there isn' :crying: t one.

Any suggestion outside of just taking a $300 per week job right now in order to get this interview over with?
