Interview scheduled and now I'm unemployed

[Xyooj509 9]

Hi,

 

I summited my wife's AOS back in February of 2020. We finally got a noticed for interview schedule yesterday but the problem now is Im currently not working. I still make more then the requirements even off my unemployment but do i still need a joint sponsor? If so, do i just have my joint sponsor fill out a I-864?

You need to bring an updated I-864 and just in case bring the I-864 packet of a joint sponsor.

So basically, I need to fill out a new I-864? Do I just print off bank statements showing my unemployment direct deposits?

You need a joint sponsor I-864 with supporting documents....and you need a new I-864 for yourself .  The IO will want to see someone with enough current stable annual income to support the new immigrant....or documentation of sufficient assets.   Using unemployment benefits for an I-864 is problematic.

Seriously? There are no jobs out there? Or is it a toss-up between the benies and your wife being able to AOS, or sticking it on to a joint sponsor? Forgive me, I don't mean to sound harsh but that is exactly what it sounds like.

You are misunderstanding my question. I make plenty over the poverty guide lines before my unemployment. My question is if I can use my unemployment for income since i will update and bring the updated form with me to the interview. If not, i can prepare for joint sponsor..

Yes, you're gonna need a joint sponsor since youre unemployed now. It Doesnt how much much you are making on unemployment. you dont have a job now so unless you have over 100k something in your bank  you gonna need to find a joint sponsor. Good luck on koj li Aos interview.
