Hi everyone, My fiancée is Canadian, I (petitioner) currently unemplyoed as I am still a student but my fiancée works 2 jobs and he can sustain himself upon entering here. Will this negatively affect our application? Greatly appreciate your help.

Are you referring to using assets to qualify? He can’t qualify based on income because it will not continue upon entering the US since he can’t work until getting an EAD (unlike spousal visas where you can work/travel from day 1 of entering).

 

Yes, it can negatively affect your process. Either he will need to show substantial liquid assets or you will have to find a joint sponsor. 
 

This will also come into play during AOS and I-864. Immigration is more stringent about that since it’s a legally binding document. They will most likely require a joint sponsor with the amount of RFEs they issue for I-864.

Thank you for your reply. I am currently looking for a job, I’m wondering if they only look for income during the interview process, or before sending the form I-129f? Thank!

Only during the interview process so you have a good amount of time before this comes into play

If you have not filed anything yet, please consider getting married and filing for a spousal visa instead. The processing times are similar, but the spousal visa is far superior. He would be able to start working immediately after arriving in the US.

 

You would still need to provide an affidavit of support and proof of income (125% of the federal poverty line), or find a joint sponsor, but it would just make your lives so much easier if he is not stuck at home for who knows how long after arrival.
