Who knows .. I think the deal with AP is unless it's because you've still got documents to submit, we don't know how it works.

 

Back to the OP's question though: I'm certainly not handing notice in until I've that visa stamp in my passport for safety reasons.

Your visa type is different.  Unless there is a CIMT or missing evidence, the OP likely will not have any significant AP.

Hey! 

I would wait until you are at the interview state , just because they might check if you are still working , a k1 ist still a non immigrant  visa, therefore they will take a look at how you go about your business or you just relying on them . I’m pretty sure they mention on the noa’s do not not make any plans, they don’t say that just because they care , but also because as a citizen of your country you still have responsibilities, do not become a charge of the state because then the chances are high that you will become their problem sometime soon as well, during the whole process you gotta keep a clean vest & show character that you can manage by yourself (they ask on the interview so what you doing sometimes you don’t wana look like a bum) . That’s important too. So I lived with my mom so no 3 month notice & got a job near my moms I just took any job just to keep money flowing, I didn’t sell my car, my mom did after I left , it could always be something you know. I didn’t spend any money besides groceries so I had money when i’m came to the us. Be smart about it bc you gone be depending on your husband for quiet a long time & that can become stressful over time.

I've never heard of any of the above -- either happening, or the reasoning.

This part can be true.

I am definitely thinking about this as well! 

my apartment has a 3 months notice and I can also only quit the lease by the end of the month only

and my job has a 1 month notice (even tho they know about my plan)

so I really don‘t exactly know when to quit all this. 

we submited our petition also in early december so I assume or at least I hope everything will be done in december/jannuary 

so I thought about quitting the apartment around the end of october and my job by the beginning of december

but who knows?! who knows what‘s gonna happen?!

only time will show and my plan is to NOT do anything till NOA2 and then I will think about it again.

 

Oh and also we‘re IR-1

I think it depends on what you can financially afford to risk. If you visit the official government website it says the following at the top of the page:

 

Quote

Do not sell your house, car or property,  resign from your job or make non-refundable flight or other travel arrangements until you have received your immigrant visa.

Check to see if you are working?

 

Never heard that being a requirement on the K1 visa application.  

 

Can you explain your thought process a little more for me.

Yes sir. By the end of my k1 process & before I have been invited to the interview, they send me back a package with a copy of the original petition that had the approved stamp on it & a checklist & a letter where I had to tell them wherever I used to live & live now & where I used to work & work now/recently worked. I had to send that back. 

It’sjust common sense to me that they are awaiting a potential new citizen that can work for the country & don’t be dependent on the state , for example , apply for social security benifits right away after they are granted a green card .

Why would the CO cared if you were working ?  A K-1 does not require ties to your home country.  In addition, there is no need to demonstrate financial support in the home country.

1.  No, that document established your history.  It had absolutely nothing to do with your financial status....

2.  Wrong.  The financial responsibility is placed on the USC or their sponsor.....NOT on the new immigrant..

Lol what’s wrong about working. I haven’t claimed anything just telling you what I know , that happend to me, my main point wasn’t who is lawfully financially responsible for the person, it is more the potential that they can check on that too , they did it with me & even on the interview they asked me “do you still work there” of course I said not no more by that time  because it’s only fair to my employer to let him know about my plans so they can find a replacement for me. Because that’s what a good citizen does. & that is the main point I think they ask those questions not only for background checks (primary) but secondary to paint a picture about each individual person, how you gone look when they ask you where have you worked & you haven’t put anything on there , & then they ask you in person & you ‘re just like I never worked, if i was the officer I would have only one thing to think of first after hearing this response “here goes another food stamp” please don’t get offended. But it is always the same.

she doesn’t have to worry about that bc she do has a job she just wanted to know when to quit , I advised not until the interview process because they can always ask & you don’t wanna look bad , it doesn’t matter if you are being taken care of later by your spouse , you can only represent yourself once , because they only know you from documents.

Let me make this clear.....Where you worked or even if you EVER worked in your home country has NO bearing on your interview for a K-1. 

[mrmvkjts 459]

I definitely have to agree with missileman!

It doesn‘t matter if you ever worked or not..you could have been a stay at home mom or just stayed with your parents who suport you or whatever.. as long as you can handle your finances..

the only thing uscis is telling oneis  not to make.too quick decisions about quitting a job or apartment BEFORE the interview IN CASE your visa gets denied

bcause then you gotta go and get a new job again but if you‘ve never had one in the first place..they don‘t give a ____
