I-130 adult children of US citizen

[Ann111 0]

Hello. My mother is US citizen as of 2 years(she originally won a green card).   She filed for I 130 in 2019 after she got her citizenship.  for me and my sister , 39 and 30 years unmarried.  It now, as of  3 months,  says - Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS.

My question is, I have not worked anywhere officially. Most of the time i gave up my home for rent and lived in my mothers house. I have an apartment that casts about 65000$. And will have 10000$ on my account by the time of the interview. My mother periodically has send us money .  
Will i be refused on the basis of not working? Do i need to search for a job before the interview? 
Also, if i-130 gets approved, how long will it get to get an invitation to the interview? Thank you. 
Also, my father isn't with us. So the household is 3 people, me, sister and mother. Did I get right that as a sponsor my mother must have 26000$ yearly without taxes to be able to sponsor us?
Thank you for reading this long post. I truly appreciate any help that you can offer.

Your mother is your sponsor and it is her financial situation that counts

 

You have some time to go are you married?

At least 5 years depending on your nationality https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2022/visa-bulletin-for-october-2021.html

It will depend on the I-864P amounts at the time of the interview.  Google USCIS I-864P for details.

So if during the interview i am asked where i work, and i answer that i have never worked anywhere except 2 years right after graduating, (I am 39 year old), it will not affect negatively my chances?  Will they not ask how i got money for living and what do i plan to do in US to support myself? Thank you for spending your time on helping me. I Truly appreciate it.

Well they may ask what your plans are and they consider the totality of the circumstances

This is a family visa.  You don't need to have a job it get it.

They can ask and you should have an answer.

We have actually seen a couple of cases reported here where lack of work history of an adult beneficiary has negatively affected the visa outcome on a public charge basis. It’s not common but it happens. I seem to recall the one was in their late 20s or early 30s reporting being told to get a couple years work experience and try again. The sponsor meeting the minimum guideline is presumably not enough to avert public charge fears in such cases.

That is what i am afraid of.   Mothers advocate said the interview may be after a year, but here everyone says 5-7 years.  If it takes 5 years i have time to get official job. Wondering if they check how long you have your job? Or just saying i work here will be enough? I am wondering what proof they require of having job.  
Thank you telling me this. I truly appreciate it.

No one can tell you what questions they will ask or what proof they may ask to see. It is up to the officer who assesses each case on an individual basis.
