Gaps in Beneficiary employment history

[fluffykim 333]

Question please.  My fiance (he is the beneficiary in jamaica)  is 24 years old.  His parents supported him for a few years, then he was a stay at home father while his sons mother worked.  He held a job for the last year and then got injured.  He just went out of work last month.  So in the 5 years, he has only had 1 job for a year.  

 

1.  Is this a red flag?

2.  How does he account for that on the application?

1. No red flag at all. Beneficiary job history is not that important for family based visas.

2. He simply puts down all the jobs he worked. He doesn't have to explain any gaps.

wow, that is good to know.  Just put down the dates of when he worked, and then in the additional section do i put all the dates and put "unemployed"?

The purpose of this section of the application is biographical information. Simply put...demographics. His work history will not be questioned or "red flag" because he is the beneficiary. YOU, on the other hand, work history and current employment will be reviewed because you are his sponsor and will have to meet the financial requirement to sponsor him here in the US so that he doesn't become a public charge.

Work history can also assist the CO in identifying out of county activity that would prompt the need for a PC from somewhere else.

Anything can be explained.  Your relationship is what is in question.  If he does not or did not have a job, did you send money, phone credit etc...keep those receipts and show relationship.  If you gave gifts and such to his child...keep those receipts.  You should be fine.  Documenting relation is important!  Good luck.  Update your profile with dates and info.

Be careful with money transfers,  you don't want to raise any question that this is a compensated relationship
