Losing my job was what brought me to re-meet my fiancee

[sjvr 0]

Just random question, I was unemployed and that led me to travel to my parents home country and ended up falling back in love with my ex-boyfriend now fiancee. Rewind- When I was 12 yrs. old I moved temporarily to Ecuador for a few years and he was my first boyfriend-first love. Fast forward- When I lost my job in 2009, age 31, I went out there to clear my head and low and behold we fell back in love. Happily Engaged!!

NOW, does anyone know if that matters,that I have a large gap of employment as he will since he too got layed off at a later point in our relationship, I am preparing all the papers for the petition and just want to prepare myself.

PS- He already landed a great job started Jan.2011, I got called back by my old company and will work on a long-term project with them starting next week.

Should not be an issue as long as you can show strong employment now and income and a letter form employer you should be sweet to go

Thank you for your quick response!!! Well, things are pretty tough out here NY/NJ area-contrary to the "declining uenmployment claims" things haven't changed much. I landed a long-term project with my company for 8 months perhaps longer, if not it will certainly help me land something more permanent.

We were also thinking his Moms side of the family as well as him mom live here. So we were going to provide 2 affidavits. One from my end and another from a well established family member to demonstrate the financial backing.

Your thoughts? Thanks again!

If you can't meet the financial requirements then you can get a co sponsor by all means. You wont need the affidavits at all but a letter from your employer outlining your job and yearly wage and when you started will help. But if you want to get an affidavit from friends explaining your situation it wont hurt.

Your story reminds me a bit of one of my best friends. She'd dated and fell in love with her boyfriend in Spain many years ago while she was visiting. They broke it off after awhile, yet kept in touch off and on over 6 years. Today - she has moved back to Spain to live and marry him! She'd gone back to visit friends, casually met up with her ex - and things blossomed from there. Just a great story, and they are SO HAPPY together Your story reminded me of theirs. It's great. Congrats again!
