The beneficiary (Guy from N.Ireland) does not need a job.

The petitioner (girl from Indiana) will need a job with sufficient income, or assets, or a cosponsor. That comes later, but is good to know about/plan for.

I believe that the sponsor has to be a US citizen/LPR, so don't think his mother sponsoring him will work out, unless she gives him the assets in his name to self sponsor. (London has let others do this - assets only)

Yea but I'm just worried will they wonder why I haven't had a job since I left school...

Can my fiancee's mum not sponsor me? My fiancee is a student and this is the only option we have...

Ahh you're young. They will forgive you for your lack of workforce experience. Your USC lady love should prepare more to prove that she can support you when you live here. I hope she has enough to prove that she's able citizen..if not her parents can definitely co-sponsor. My fiance hasn't had a steady job in years (geez I should freak out too for him) but someone has to show the dough and it ain't gonna be the beneficiaries. No worries mate.

If you're truly worried they might ask you why you have been out of work since you left school, tell them the truth but with an honest intention that you are planning to be employed by any means. The job market in Northern Ireland hasn't been quite promising for the last few years, am I wrong? But who am I kidding? The job market hasn't been well everywhere.

Good luck mate.

Your fiancee is the LPR applying for your K-1 visa. It is she that must provide sponsorship and in this case it sounds like her mother will need to provide the necessary documentation. You should review the poverty guidelines with your fiancee to insure that her mother will qualify. I hope you are on good terms with your soon-to-be mother in law.

As far as you not having a job, that will only concern the embassy people regarding whether you might become another person living on public assistance. The best thing to do at the embassy interview is ask them how soon do they think you can begin working to help your fiancee finish her school and the two of you can think about starting a family. You want to leave an impression that you are wanting and willing to work and not just looking to be a free loader.

As far as the multiple addresses, that is stated before, for the police clearance. It generally is not a problem.

Yeah, thanks.

I'm kinda nervous because I'm trying to apply for jobs now but I really can't stretch the truth on my application forms in terms of job history as I don't want it to be misconstrued as lying about my employment history if it got back to the consulate or NVC...

I don't know what to do

Why do they ask for addresses lived?

Thats usually, from what i understand, for people who have lived in multible countries as you need to provide police reports if you have lived in a country for more than six months. I moved around in college etc but i put down my home address and that is all they needed. It was the same address provided for the police report.

Hey I see your a fellow Irishman

Could you tell me where you had your interview? I live in N.Ireland but I hold an Irish passport and just wondered would I have to go to London or Dublin?

Let her file the petition before you worry about all this. Yes, your prior addresses are needed so there can be a thorough check of police records. Your finances, or lack thereof, don't count--only that you have had no run-ins with the law. As far as cosponsor, yes, her mother can do this...but again, it's not part of the petition process. It will wait.

If you have a Republic of Ireland passport, you will probably be interviewed in Dublin.

I also have a another question. For a period of 2 and half years I was living at my brothers house. During this time I was going back and forth to my parents address but always stayed at my brothers and kept my parents address as my mailing address and the address i was registered at on the electoral roll. My questions are, would there be a problem putting down that I lived at my brothers? Second, my brother's wife ran into some legal trouble but was never charged with any criminal offence, would this reflect bad on me when they do a background check on me at this address? Also do I have to show proof that I stayed at this address? There really isn't any to begin with...

Anyone?

You should include any address that you would have put down on any other form which asked for an address. While you were staying with your brother, what would you have put for your current address?

I think the "safe" answer is to put your brother's address, especially if you went so far as to pay rent or have any mail sent to you there - like credit card bills etc.

It seems to me that if you are a guest in both your brother's and your parents' houses, it's arguable either way.

I wasn't paying rent or had my mail sent there. I was living there and keeping his house while his wife and he were working during the day, as a family favour. In return I was staying at his house rent free and being fed etc. However my mail was being sent to my parents place and I was on the electoral roll for there. I mean, what kind of background checks do they run, that they can find out where you lived?
