Petitioner works in the weed industry

[Helena55 3]

Hi everybody!

We are going to apply for K1. Is it gonna be a problem that the petitioner works in the weed industry? It’s legal in his state, but since it’s illegal in the federal level, can it affect our application somehow? 
I’ve heard that it can be considered as illegal income when he submits affidavit of support, but we are using a joint sponsor anyway, so idk if it’s gonna matter.

Have anybody here had the same experience and petitioned K1 while working with marijuana?

If it's legal in their state, then you're good.

I worked in said industry when my wife adjusted her status

Glad to hear this in a non-issue as this has been my career for the past 8 years.

 

Seems like they care about how much you make and not where you work.
