If anybody will be lenient with your situation, it will be London. They aren't an embassy saying you haven't been in a job long enough. Show them the proof of the severance in his financial accounts and you should be okay if it is a sizeable chunk of money. That's my opinion. He's made good money before, has marketable skills, and will be employed again. Carry on and if it doesn't work out like I think, then get another sponsor, send in their I-134, and your visa gets issued when they receive it.  

 

You can use assets for AOS as well if his severance is enough. For 2 people it's 3 x $21,137= $63,411. I think London would accept half that for the I-134. 

 Would AOS be a problem even if he jumps straight into another job? I bring along 2 k2s so would be higher.  

I am almost certain he will be back in another job very fast, I always try to cover the worst case situation and anything better is a bonus.  Would the uk accept letter from employer with his salary and paystubs from a new job instead of using a cosponsor?  We have cosponsors available, but we’ve waited and worked to be able to be in the positions to be able to do this ourselves and live comfortably. It would be my last resort.

London approves K1s on just an employer letter with nothing else, so should be fine. The officer just has to be convinced you won't become a public charge. Convince him.

 

AOS requires a tax return and any other things that help are optional. Your AOS interview will be a year off so you should be in fine shape by then.

Hey guys

can anyone shed any light on how the embassy in the uk deals with co sponsors? Unfortunately this week my fiancé has been made redundant at work.  It’s all came out of the blue and at least 2/3’s of the staff have been cut unfortunately my partner being one of them on the 3rd round of cuts. 

His wage was well above the 125% poverty guide line and expects to be in a new job ASAP earning the same if not taking a pay rise. He also walks away with a great severance pay. 

But my question is what should we do now? I have my medical on the 13th and ready t book my interview but holding off at the mo.  Would it be wise to have a co sponsor even if he starts a new job?  What’s the procedure for this? Are they accepted for uk applicants? 

Sorry for all the questions this was just something we never thought we would have to deal with. 

Thanks in advance 

London and cosponsoring is just fine. We used one. The only financial documents and the I-134 form is required from the cosponsor. They may ask some questions about who the sponsor is etc, but otherwise it is generally smooth. Remember though that once you marry and file for AOS, you'll either be needing a joint sponsor or your spouse will have needed to find a job making over the threshold.

 

Oh and London also allows for self-sponsoring.
