I lost my job and the interview is a month away

[briancole 1]

This morning I was let go and now I have no job. My Affidavit of Support contains information about my job I just lost. Luckily I sent in a second affidavit with my parent's information as a backup. Now I'm worried because that document I submitted no longer applies to me. What am I going to say at the interview if they ask about work? If they ask my wife where I work? Or my son? Should I bring an updated copy of my affidavit for whatever other job I get between now and then?

I'll obviously be doing everything I can between now and then to find a new job, but I may not find anything before the interview. What advice or recommendations could you give me?

EDIT: The interview date is set for November 22.

I believe the truth is the best way to go. If you have a sponsor then you shouldn't have a problem. What happened to you could happen to anyone. Do what you can to find a job between now and then and take all the updated info with you if you are attending the interview, and if not, remember to let your spouse know your current information. You should be fine.

I think you and "they" have to know that your Submitted AOS was valid the time when you submitted it. May don't bring up the topic of your job if they don't ask.

If they ask then you can explain to them plus you said you also included your parents on AOS.

Sorry not much of a straight answer.

I also agree with previous poster about finding a job before the interview so this way "they" will see that you are a responsible person.

Thank you to both of you, that does help. I hoped as much, but I worried that they would see it as instability on my part and that it would hurt our case. Luckily they have the co-sponsor information.

Don't worry Be positive!!! Everything will turn out good. Don't stress over that. This is a tough economy and the best of us have been in your shoes. Don't bring up the issue but if asked, you are currently in between jobs.

STAY POSITIVE!!!!!
