Hey guys,

So we just sent out the paperwork on Friday, and I found out Saturday that the contract I was hired under fell through and unfortunately I lost my job. I just started working there in January, but all my paperwork says I work there still.

I'm vigorously on the job hunt looking for work but I'm not sure what to do with my application now that it's sent...

I'm terrified I'm gonna be denied because I don't have a job right now and am afraid it's going to take me a while to get another one.

Help!

You will need to provide updated information with your then job details.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

In that case it does not matter.

USCIS does not care about whether the beneficiary has a job or not. All they care about is the petitioner's (or co-sponsor's) job and annual salary.

Check out this topic: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/524596-beneficiary-never-had-a-job/

As you can see, there are many people (including myself) who never had a job and we were approved with no problems. Even at the interview it was not an issue. You should be fine.

Good luck! :)

That is really relieving to hear lol.

I still plan on looking for some type of part time job, just to have extra money for the move. My fiance earns about 5 times the required income so I guess we're set in that case.

Thanks for the help :)

Your title is a bit misleading. You say you lost a job, but you never had one in the first place. lol. :D What a bummer that the company pulled out the rug from under you. Is there any way you could've avoided that, or what caused them to renege on their offer? Good luck. Don't stress out, the fact you got a call back so quickly bodes well for the economy in your area.
