Beneficiary Job Change

[Tracki07 20]

My fiance in El Salvador (he is male, I am female), and he has been very unhappy in his job lately. We are currently awaiting NOA2, hopeful it will come through late May or early June based on the activity lately. He has been at his company for 5 1/2 years, but lately it has been more stress than it's worth. He is wondering if it will have any effect on our interview/process if he quits his job now, possibly has another job for a few months before he can (hopefully) finally move here to the US later this year. I would think that since I am the petitioner and I am the one whose finances they are looking at, it doesn't matter what he does with his job, right? I am good to go, I have been in my career for 7 years and I have savings, so there isn't a question of whether I can support him. I would love for him to be able to move on from this job that's been causing him so much stress! He just doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize our process.

His changing jobs won't have an effect on your K-1 process.

Correct -- it's the petitioner's job and finances that matter.  The embassy only cares about the beneficiary's job to check that it's not anything illegal, like prostitution.  Other than that, it will be fine even if the beneficiary is unemployed.

My then-fiance, in Nicaragua, had no job...well technically he did, as a pastor, but didn't get any money for it. for K1 you aren't relying on the beneficiary's income at all so no, switching jobs is not going to affect the interview or the process at all. As long as you demonstrate the ability to financially support the both of you then you will be fine in those regards!
