Our office where i work will be closed by December 31st. In my group some of us will be asked to move to our Indiana office, and some of us will be canned. Ana and I just started our visa process, and i am freaking out.

What if they can me? What do I do? Can I still continue with the process? Of course today i am starting to look for another job.

Anyone have any advice? What would my options be?

Well your tax returns should still show your income for the 2009/08/07 years if you have a job through December. I think you should be ok with those. You may need a co-sponsor for AOS though.

When I did my wifes K1 through Mumbai, they wanted a job letter at the interview, dated no earlier than 60 days prior to the interview date. I don't know if Manila asks for that or not.

Oh that would be a bummer. Not sure why every embassy seems to have different rules. I am pretty sure that in London, most only needed tax returns (with w-2's). I know some provided a letter from the bank too but it seems employer letter was only for those that were on the job not very long.

Sorry to hear that, Joseph. I was laid off the day before my wife arrived here in the states. Thankfully, I found work within 3 months. You've got 6 months to prepare and hopefully, Ana will have her interview scheduled by then. Good luck finding a new job in the meantime.

thank you all for your help. What is the minimum for a co-sponsor? I know that its probably listed somewhere, but i thought since we're talking about it I would ask here.

It's pretty low but I haven't checked it in a long time ....around 18k I believe.

125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for the sponsor/co-sponsor's household size (which would include the beneficiary/your-fiancé).
