K-1 Beneficiary Employment Status

[JRCes 0]

Does a K-1 beneficiary need to be working at the time of an interview?

My fiancee was told she needed a letter from her employer for the interview when she picked up her packet of documents. She may have misunderstood and they said they needed one from mine, but that seems kinda random to mention out of all the other documents that are needed. It's the end of August now, she intends to be here, god-willing, in November, and would rather stop working in the mean time. We are interviewing at the embassy in Costa Rica.

There is no requirement that a K-1 applicant be employed. Surely they were talking about a letter from your employer as evidence of current, sustained income—a supporting document for your I-134 Affidavit of Support.

NO. The beneficiary's employment status has no bearing oin the visa process. She was told wrong. I would say MOST beneficiaries are not working at the time of the interview. Doesn't matter though.

The PETITIONER needs to have a source of income to support the beneficiary, not vice versa

it doesnt matter if the beneficiary is working or not during the interview what is important is that the petitioner has inceome to support his beneficiary.
