Hi there. I'm confused right now on what to write on my G325A employment history. I'll give you a brief history and your input about it will be well appreciated. So here it goes:

My employment for the last five years: I've worked in the Philippines dated Feb 2012 until Aug 2013. I resigned from work there by July 2013 because my brother took me to Bahrain by Aug 2013 through visit visa to find work. So while in Bahrain from Aug 2013 until Oct 2013 I was under visit visa while the emoloyer/sponsor I found was arranging my working visa. After 2 months of being under visit visa by November 2013 My visit visa was transferred into working visa and I started working in Bahrain from Nov 2013 until Nov 2015. By Dec 2015 I came back to Philippines and got married to my american husband and presently I'm unemployed right now, but I'm arranging and preparing my documents for the spousal petition.

My concern is :

1. What should I write in the time when I was in Bahrain under visit visa for 2 months, should I write unemployed or what?

2. Will being unemployed at present make an impact on the spousal petition? Will it matter?

Thanks for the input in advance.

Just write the right dates when you got and finished the job (Employment History), Visit visa is tourist visa, meaning you can't work.

If you went to Bahrain in a certain period of time, indicate that to your residence for last 5 years.

Simple as it is :)

And being unemployed will not matter in this petition. Your spouse will apply and try to get you. Thus, y'all must provide for a bonafide relationship.

Thanks for the input in advance.

Please note that when you get a police clearance in Bahrain, they will not consider the date of your visit visa arrival in Bahrain even if you started working these dates. When you are a tourist visa you cant work as it's illegal. Put the date as per your bahrain residence visa.
