Hello, my spouse has a US CR1 green card appointment from Morocco in Casablanca coming up and we've been documentarily qualified. I left my job a while after being DQ'd because I was extremely unhappy in my career and wanted to leave since I started the visa process but hung on for 2 years to bring my spouse over. I plan to go back to school and have plenty of savings left over the minimum threshold income. I have my own home. I'm here in Morocco with my spouse and I'm hoping to leave together once she gets her visa approval. I also have a joint sponsor that makes over 200k a year. Will my unemployment be an issue for the visa approval? Thank you for your time.

Your problem is going to be domicile. Make sure you show that you are in Morocco temporarily....that you will move back to the US.

No problem except making sure they understand you are domiciled in the USA, and only visiting Morocco.

Update for anyone in a similar situation: Visa approved. They asked 3 questions, the only document looked at was marriage certificate. Took less than 3 minutes. I included proof of domicile through bank statements, bill transactions, home ownership, but they didn't ask questions about my current employment/income nor of how long I was in Morocco.
