Just laid off last friday, I-864 generated yesterday HELP!!!

I was just laid off from my job this past friday and currently seeking employment. The I864 was generated yesterday. Should I still report employment since the dates are so close. I do have a second sponsor now since that has happened. But I was wondering if they would look at the info on packet as misleading because I was working up until friday. I have employment letter, and direct deposit stubs up until friday.

Unfortunately, reporting it as your current income would be lying and you can't do that. In my opinion, you should wait until you have a new job, your first pay stub from the new job, and a letter from the new employer. That is not your only option, but I would think it's the best option. You could rely on the joint sponsor, but you are probably likely to get a new job before your spouse's interview, right?

Yes I agree with MargotDarko

I don't mind being economical with the truth sometimes when it's a grey area and I can't be pinned ( They call it 'slippery') - but this one is too easily checked and there is no wriggle room, and the consequences are NOT worth it. You have a joint sponsor too so no don't try it - you will be fine with the sponsor you have and you will have another job by interview date to nail it on at that time.....
