I am using Rapid visa and I completed a Affidate of support with my last 3 years of tax returns and my employment. When she goes for the interview at the Chinese consulate will they contact my employer? After doing all of this, i got laid off at work and I am collecting unemployment. Not sure what to expect now especially if I don't find another job before the interview.   

They won’t contact your employer. My husband lost his job right before my interview at the London Embassy. (I did not know this at the time, he decided to tell me after so I wouldn’t stress out) and they didn’t ask anything about his employment. I think you will be fine! Just get cracking with finding a new job. 
 

good luck!

OP's beneficiary will be interviewing in Guangzhou, not London.  The consul officer in China may ask extensively about the petitioner's current financial capacity to sponsor.  I would not recommend going to the interview without securing a new job or a joint sponsor.

The I-864 is signed under penalty of perjury.

Presenting a knowingly inaccurate I-864 would be a misrepresentation.

 

If the I-864 was already reviewed at NVC and you got DQ, technically that remains valid. But often they want you to bring an updated copy to the interview, and doing so while unemployed will not be sufficient. They also tend to ask about the petitioner's employment, of which you would need to be honest.

If the I-864 has not been reviewed by NVC yet, then you'll need to resolve this before submitting to NVC.

Resolving this means either obtaining sufficient income/assets, or finding a joint sponsor.

So basically how long does reviewing a case take ??
