I have just been layed off effective the 14th, I have a reasonable prospect of getting a new job very soon but would like to hear from anyone who has been through something like my situation. How may it effect the process, why should I do or not do. I'm at the NOA1 recived - waiting on NOA2 in about 2 months.

I'm not sure if EDD checks could be use as a proof income and if PH will allow co-sponsorship. I'm pretty sure other members here as more knowledgeable with this kind of situation. Good luck finding a replacement job!

I'm not worried about using unemployment as a source for support, I fully expect to be in a new job before we get aproved. I'm more concerned about just the fact of a change and length of employment effects on the support paperwork.

A new job shouldn't make a difference as long as it averages above the minimum requirements, especially if you were way over with your old job.

3 Cheers for Tex getting organizer status! Just noticed this change. He is one of the coolest, most real and reasonable people on this board.

So many other passive agressive types and who always think they are right and righteous. The Tex is a true BREATH of fresh air, hair!

You can definitely go through work transitions (changing jobs/lay offs/etc)-so long as you of course get another job (to maintain the financial requirements). My husband (American sponsor) changed his job during our K-1 process and it was fine. Just make sure to remember to keep all of your W2s/tax information handy for future use post-K1 process!

Small aside: I am sure you will find something soon :) I work with folks who get laid off, and by my day-to-day point of view, the economy is what you make of it. Best of luck and enjoy the K1 ride!
