Quitting job = red flag?

Short version? I can't stand my job... any longer.

Didn't want to quit because thought it would raise some red flags, plus it pays well. This week we would hit the 5 month mark since NOA1. It seems like "perfect timing", though to be fair, I do want to spend some time with my family ( I work 10-13 hour days). I originally wanted to resign after I had the interview but I just can't stand my job anymore. Would this pose as a problem later at the interview?

Please help. Thanks.

Do you have another job? You will need to provide affidavit of support(I-134)for the beneficiary; one of the requirement is that either you have a permamnent job that provides enough salary under the poverty guideline in which you will need a letter from your employer and pay check stubs as well or enough assets to prove that the beneficiary will not rely on government for a living. So think very deeply before you resign because if you can't prove either way...K1 visa WILL be denied. See if you can tolerate it a little bil longer for the sake your loved one. Good Luck to you or your journey of love and life

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm the beneficiary. My fiance will be filing in the affidavit of support since he's finishing up what's left of his college (he got discharged from the military in January) and is currently unemployed.

OK. Well waht matters is his own job; you said he is unemployed at the moment, how is he going to take care of you? I am assuming that he is getting a co sponsor for the affidavit of support for you.I am not sure your job has any significant bearing on his support but I will advise not to quit till you get your visa

You, the beneficiary, quitting your job will have no impact on the visa. Just the petitioner has to prove their income.

Agree that while whether you have a job (as beneficiary) has no impact on the K1, no doubt the visa process is putting extra strain on you... and if you can hold on a bit longer, the extra $$ will come in handy. (just my opinion)

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number

Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .

Your employment does not matter. Your fiance needs to show current income that meets the requirements. Or he must have a joint sponsor that earns enough to meet the requirements for their family plus the intending immigrant.
