I think you're in the wrong forum. This is for spousal visas. I'm sure the K-1 forum would better be able to help you.

Hi Kath,

If you've already submitted evidence of employment, etc. to NVC, there is a good chance that they will not ask for more evidence. What I mean to tell you is that the proof has already been submitted and the interview will probably focus on other things. I think that unless you share that information, they will not know it. I'm sure he is going to find another job asap to support you and him. In this case, unless they ask, I would not tell. Know what I mean? I don't think it's something you should bring up unless you're asked. At my husband's interview, they did not ask anything like this. But, remember, you're in another type of visa category. We're a spousal visa, you're a fiancé one. It's slightly different. But, I'd imagine the interviews must be fairly similar. Hope this helps and I am so sorry about your husband losing his job. That is scary, especially with a marriage coming soon. Just try to make it through and encourage your husband to find work ASAP (and not be too picky with his job search, for now. He can keep looking.)

Would you be willing to share your interview experience with us? Maybe just what kind of questions they asked and those sort of things. Also, did both of you have to go to the interview?

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! wub.png

Fingers crossed we'll be hearing SOME news within the next few weeks! smile.png We may be apart from our spouses today, but next year and all those that follow will be spent together.

Just wanted to share a VERY fitting song for all of us that I attached to a video I made for my husband. Made it to take my mind off missing him, and instead, enjoyed looking through all the pictures of us through the last 5 years.

If you haven't heard the song already, just listen to the words, and share this video (song + lyrics) with your spouse today. smile.png
