Job Loss Before AOS

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Before you ask, yes I searched and I couldn't find a solid answer. I was answered in the Canadian section in a different topic, but I just want to be totally sure, since I want to get this paperwork done ASAP.

My fiance was terminated from his job of 6 years this past Friday.

We're getting married on the 27th and filing as soon as we can.

Since he has no job and that he has to mark down that he doesnt on the affidavit of support form, are we absolutly required to have a co-sponsor? And my fiance still has to fill out the form, correct?

Thank you for any answers

Yes, mark he doesn't have a job.

Yes you will need a co-sponsor, and

yes, he will need to fill in a form anyway. if he doesn't he will get an RFE

I'm sorry to hear about this. To make you feel better, try not to worry about this. My wife (the USC) was between jobs through pretty much the entire process, but we got a joint sponsor (her mother) for the I-134 and I-864s and got approved with no problems at all. Not even an interview. This is an unfortunate inconvenience, but it's no showstopper!

Sorry to hear about your job loss but i just went through the same problem. My Company closed its doors after being employed there for 33 years. (auto worker in Michigan) on the I-485 i sent in i put layed off and included 3 years of tax returns. At the AOS interview i was very worried about this problem like you. just in case We lined up a co-sponsor (sister) and brought along my unemployment pay stubs for the last 3 months. At the interview the Officer asked for passports,asked wife her mother and fathers name, My father and mothers name asked her if she knew her Social Security number, Which she knew by heart then told us he was approving our application for the green card. He did take our joint bank account and some pictures. DO NOT OFFER ANY INFORMATION UNLESS ASKED FOR IT! After being approved we thanked him and out the door we went in a flash. I pray everything go`s as smooth for you my friend. Good luck !

I'm very interested in your story because my husband is currently employed and was employed when we filed for AOS, but the company he works at is at risk of shutting down and I'm scared that he will be unemployed by the time I manage to get my interview. Did they request for the co-sponsor or was your unemployment pay stub enough? Thank you in advance
