can the unemployment benefit and the post911 benefits be enough so that he can petition for me? For My child, will apply for crba.

I know what you're getting at. Post 9/11 G.I. Bill along with unemployment. Long story short, I highly, highly doubt the U.S. Embassey is going to approve anything because this whole process is to prevent fraud, people commit fraud to exploit public benefits, your husband is on public benefits. Plain and simple.

Now I know that the G.I. bill plus unemployment would just put you over the poverty line, but it's getting you there by doing what this whole process is trying to prevent. Now in reality, the G.I. Bill could help you if he's actively enrolled and shows the income from it, but he needs a job to go along with it. Now to be honest, the G.I. Bill per month is sitting already at around $1,300 a month. All he needs is a job, not even a great one and you two should be fine. Needs to get it now though, to establish time in employment.
