Hello guys just have a quick question.

If I recently changed jobs do I need to do anything? My Husband's IR1 Visa interview is in approximately 20 days and I would like to ensure I take care of all I need to take care of before he goes in.

Also could someone tell me if it is Odd for them to email the Appointment details and other documents but not send an official packet out to him in the mail? We have gone ahead and gathered the necessary documents he will need to take to the interview and scheduled his medical appointment. But shouldn't there be a package with his appointment letter and the medical exam questionnaire, etc.?

I would appreciate you advise on the guys.

Thanks in advance.

If you recently changed jobs then you'll need to prepare a new I-864 and have your husband bring it to the interview. He'll need to inform them that your financial situation has changed and give them the updated form.

Yeah, I think in recent years most embassies have opted to e-mail all the documents instead of mailing them. It saves time and paper and they can ensure that the package was received.

Does he have to plain out tell them? or should we just have him take the updated I-864 with him just in case they ask for it. Nothing much changed on the AOS form except for the name of the job and my address. My income is much higher, however they are working off the 2014 Tax forms.

The nvc will send him the official packet in the mail but do not rely on it. My husband had his medical last week and only got the packet from the post office yesterday. You can download the medical form online and email it to him to print and complete or he can fill it out when he gets to the medical.

He should tell them. If he doesn't, then it's considered misrepresentation since he's knowingly leaving them under the impression that the information provided in the original AOS is still true. They won't ask for a new I-864 if they don't know you have a new job! Lol. That's why the burden is on your spouse to inform them.

Send recent pay stubs along with the new I-864 as proof of the new income.

If not much changed and your income is higher, then it shouldn't be a problem providing the new form. They actually look at current income: income you're earning right now and what you'll be earning when the beneficiary immigrates.

Previous year tax returns are provided to evidence stable income.

Where can you download the medical form?

Scroll down and find your embassy to see the instructions for the medical.
