Ok, I'm trying not to freak out...but

I submitted the 129F back in April, still waiting for NOA2...

I was just laid off at work, and wondering if I will need to report this change on my G325A?

Can I wait to find a new job, and let the NOA2 process normally? Then inform the Consulate of the job change at the interview.

Not sure exactly what to do.

Thanks to anyone who might have some insights.

No reason to report anything to USCIS - they would never match it up to your file anyway. When it's time for the interview in CDJ, you will provide up-to-date information regarding your job in the form of a letter from your current employer, paystubs, etc. It's not unusual for a job change to take place during processing - not a big deal.

The up to date job information will be in your supporting documents to the I-134. No need to deal with any of it until then. An employer letter could be part of that but is not required. I-134 asks you to state your current occupation and annual income. It is customary to offer tax transcripts and pay stubs to support the statement of current income.

Ciudad Juarez doesn't use the I-134. Therefore an employer letter is a rather important piece of proof for most people.

Hey Jeff,

Sorry about your situation. I was laid off the day before my wife arrived here, so it was after her interview, but it had me worried about AOS later on. Once you receive the NOA2 and the interview date, you'll be required to produce a letter from your employer, indicating your job status and salary. I don't think it should be a problem unless you are still unemployed by the time of the interview. I was out of work for nearly 2 months, but was able to submit the letter from my new employer for the AOS. Our interview is at the end of this month, but I'm confident it will be a non-issue.
