Changing Jobs after approval but no appointment yet...implications?

[Angela F 0]

Hello,

 

We were approved for the CR1 in February and still waiting on an appointment through the embassy in Ghana.  I have an opportunity for a new position and was advised that I could not change jobs until everything has been approved.  I started the process in November 2021, and I just do not want to delay any longer.  Any advice will be helpful. Thanks!

Who advised you of that? 

 

As long as you your income meets, and preferable exceeds, poverty guidelines, you have nothing to worry about. Live your life and apply for that position.

Correct.  You need to keep an income, not a specific job.

Thank you both for responding to my question.  The new position and my current position are well above the poverty guidelines, I was moreso concerned about having to resubmit the affidavit of support (I-864) and then having to wait for it to be re-approved.  My concern is if this would delay our appointment.  The embassy in Ghana is a bit unorganized and I just did not want any additional delays.

Is the case already documentarily qualified (DQ) at NVC?  If so, there will be no more NVC review even if you upload an updated I-864.  For extra peace of mind, upload the new I-864 to CEAC only after getting the interview letter.

I believe the time from DQ to IL for Ghana is still quite long. 

You might be asked to update the I864 (because they want this years tax forms) but they might not ask for an updated I864 

Wait until you receive the IL before you submit anything.
