NO JOB!!! Please Help k1

[hope-love 0]

I am a usc and i file for my fiance who lives in jamaica. We are now gathering all the information for packet 3 and all the information is at the embassy. I have been unemployed since may. I was thinking about collecting unemployment but i am scared they will turn him down to get the visa. I was going to send him my 2010 and 2009 tax returns and 2 pay stubs from me working at this temp agency last month. I have never been on any govt assistance before an the whole point is to be able to support him when he comes up here. Its funny but we have been dating since i was 9 yrs old an he was 12yrs old and now im 21. I have been going crazy throughout this whole process and we are so close now. So my question is if i apply for unemployment would they turn him down for the k1 visa.

Thanks you for reading this

You need to have a co-sponsor. It is bases on CURRENT income and you have no current income. You will be denied until you provide a co-sponsor.

As far as I know you can collect unemployment benefits and it won't have any effect on his getting the visa but you will need a co-sponsor sense you do not have steady employment.

Collecting unemployment does not disqualify you from petitioning for your fiance(e).

I lost my job and went to school full-time for an advanced degree and during that time I received unemployment. Currently I am still unemployed as I await results from my state exam. I had a co-sponsor and we were approved for the visa. I have property that I own and rent out and attempted to use that income, I included this information to fill out an I-134 form and included my bank statements showing the funds being deposited each month. However, at the interview they ignored my information because they considered me to have no income and utilized my co-sponsor's information. Just remember to include proof that the co-sponsor is a U.S. Citizen and include a copy of their citizenship certificate or passport as proof of this. My sister (who is married and has two young children) was my co-sponsor and she provided me with copies of 2 years tax returns, 2 years W-2s, the signed and completed I-134 form, and a copy of her citizenship certificate.

Note that I was receiving unemployment up until June of last year so that was shown on the tax filings that I included with my I-134, this did not appear to be a problem so don't worry about that too much.

Keep working on gathering your documents and evidence an' jus enjoy di journey

You can collect but will need a co sponsor.
