Bringing parents to US

[moniedi 0]

Hi everybody, I need some advice, my parents will have a IR5 visa interview in a few days, but I am concern because I had to move to another state and I have no job at this moment, I informed of my change of address to NVC as well. Would this be an issue for my parents in the interview? Should they say anything about it or just keep it as I never moved out of the state? . BTW my husband is my cosponsor as well, he is currently working. Thanks for your advice.

You should never lie at an interview. Your change of address is in the system.

Thanks for your advice Nigeriaorbust, I dont want to lie but I am also concern about the final decision since I am not working and I am the main sponsor, my husband is the one who is working and he filed as my co sponsor as well, and he makes way over the requiere income. I wanted to qualify as a principal sponsor that is why I was telling my parents not to say anything about this, but probably that wouldn't be a good idea..... I'm so confused......... Would they know that I'm not working at this moment?

as long as your husband qualifies, it doesn't matter if you are working or not. that's what the cosponsor or joint sponsor is for. it is in case you don't work or you don't make enough over the poverty guidelines.

they should never lie or they will be denied the visa. there is no need for this.

I agree, Its not like they will be asked for a narration. They should only answer questions they have been asked and not voluntarily offer information e.g "...and my daughter is not working". If it gets to the point where they are asked "what does she do?"..they could say "she just recently relocated and is in the process of securing another job but our son-in-law, her husband is the cosponsor and is able to support the family( or something in that line)...inorderwords, they are telling them the truth but also asking them not to write off your situation yet and at the same time providing a viable zlternative and support

Let us know the outcome...and all the best

@ Aleful & ndul246, thanks for your advice, I think you guys are right.

there is no need to lie, I will tell my parents only to answer the questions that are been asked for,

and tell the truth if extra info is needed.

Hopefully everything will be fine, thanks again and I 'll keep you posted!!!!!
