K-1 timeline

[Mmelon 8]

My dilemma: I want to submit the K-1 petition ASAP, but currently do not have a job and will be unable to have a co-sponsor. However, I am actively seeking employment and expect to be making a decent salary within the next few months. My question is, if I submit the K-1 soon, and receive NOA1 and NOA2 but am still not in a position to fill out the affidivit of support yet, am I allowed to wait a few months until we can proceed? Are there deadlines where if you do not follow through fast enough, you have to start everything over?

This is the bigger issue. You are putting yourself in a position of much stress if your expectations for a decent job do not prove fruitful in a timely manner.I am not familiar with the embassy in Costa Rica, but most work in a similar fashion of sending you a packet requesting information after they have received your info from the NVC. This is when you need the I-134 affidavit of support for the embassy interview. You can delay sending the packet back for a short while without negatively affecting anything,( and it will take many months before you get to this point)but if your expectations still have not been met, no job yet,it could become an issue. We all want to be together ASAP, but if can hold off until you have a job and know you can submit pay stubs and the like, it would be better for you.
