Question about K-1 - Job offer

[AP16 30]

Hello everyone!

I'm a 25 years old brazilian guy going through K-1 process right now. I created this topic to ask if presenting evidence of a job offer at the interview would be good or bad for the case. I speak english fluently and I graduated from law school here in Brazil in april. I have the chance now to apply for a job at an attorney's office, starting to work, OFF COURSE, after I get my work permit. Here's my line of thought: it could either help our case, since it would be evidence that I can provide for myself and my fiancee in USA or it could be bad, because the consular officer can just assume that I'm going through K-1 for immigration benefits and work only.

So, what do you think?

A job offer will not help or hurt your chances of getting a K-1. It's not a factor in granting your visa.

The job offer will help you with expediting the EAD when you apply for AOS.

I thought about that because it would show that, after I'm legally able to work, I can make a living without becoming a public charge.

So you think it doesn't matter at this point?

Won't make a difference for the k1. As aaron2020 said, it can be used to expedite your ead once you're here and filed for the aos.

there is so much time in between now and getting your NOA2 for the K1, getting interviewed, moving to the US, getting married, applying for EAD/GC that it really doesn`t matter.

I had no job offers but I`m still doing fine now after we are married. It is your partner, or their cosponser, who has to prove right now that they can provide for you until all these months have gone by and you have that EAD or greencard in hand. Your job offers, income, bank account,.. don`t really matter at this point.

Ok, thank you everyone!

Well, I just hope that there's not that much time between now and our NOA2... I'm hoping I can be interviewed as late as september!

Thank you anyway!

Based on the VJ processing times you have about a month or more to go, they are currently processing early April filers and I see you filed in the second half of May. Not saying it`s not possible but with USCIS you never know what might pop up. If your embassy has a long wait time for interviews that might take a while as well,...

If you don`t want to get disappointed, try not to guess too much when your case will be approved.

Either way I think you have your answer anyways, good luck !

Yes, I saw that my case might be updated on early august...

I think my embassy doesn't have a long wait time for interviews, at least for tourist visas is really fast. And since there are not many K-1 here, I assume it will be quick.

Anyway, I have my answer! Thank you very much, best wishes!

CSC is getting faster after the slowish month of march , i think October for may filers sounds a bit more reasonable well if u dnt have any delay or complications with your case , for 2016 though its avg 4 - 6 months so September honestly isnt a bad prediction

the offer has doesn't help your case , its your petitioner or the co sponsors financial ability that they need not yours , not sure where you got that idea from

No no no! High probability of visa denial,

It will only complicate your case. The CO could also think your purpose of getting this visa could be there for this job and not your fiancee. Extra information can be harmful in most cases.

[Rc123rc 528]

Since the financial responsibility is on the petitioner. I would strongly suggest you not say a word about a job offer. It sends the wrong message. Also, whenever you give information to USCIS or consulate, answer truthfully but don't give more information than needed. The one area you always want to have plenty of information on is your on=going valid relationship. Your job offer makes it look like you went job hunting and then found someone to marry and get you into the country.

not true. People get job offers all the time and actually get EAD expedited because of it.

OP, it will not help or hurt your case.

Well, this could give an impression that he was hunting for a job and during which he found a channel to enter US. Money, Job and financial interests should not be mentioned in the interview.

This is not true.

While mentioning the job has no value in getting a visa, it's not detrimental as you have pointed out.

How many people do you know that found jobs and then entered into fake marriages to get those jobs?
