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

I have a bit of similar issue. My husband left his job 30th Jan and my interview is in Mid March. What do we do? We submitted pay stub as proof of employment up to Dec 2023. And some other documents.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

If the CO asks if your husband is still employed, you face a refusal.  I suggest getting a qualified joint sponsor, an I-864, and all supporting paperwork ready. I would upload those to CEAC.

Joint sponsor will be needed or the visa will be denied.  You need a joint sponsor with a I-864 and supporting financial documents.  You can tell the interviewing officer that your husband is unemployed with current income of zero.

Safe bet is to arrange a joint sponsor.  You might not be asked if he is currently employed or something to that effect.  Worst case would be to lie.  If you're not asked, usually no problem.

Thank you very much. I got in touch with a childhood friend who is willing to help but she can only get 2023 tax transcripts because she was out of the country in 2022. Her income will be around 45k. Would that work ?

Probably.  She'll need to hand write in the tax section.  2022 income below filing threshold
