Is it okay to switch jobs?

[lynie 0]

I mailed my husband’s AOS package today (woot!). I’m thinking about looking for a new job. As his sponsor, can a job change affect our approval? Assuming I would only accept a position making above 125% of the poverty line, are we okay?

I found some older posts that suggest it would be fine, and to just bring an updated affidavit of support and employer letters and so forth when the interview rolls around. But I’m just wondering if it’s a bad idea, no matter how miserable I am in my current position.

Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes you can change jobs.

Here is what department of state has on the I-864. So it is considered valid at the time it is filed, if job change happens after the I-864 is filed, another one will not need to be filed.

Expiration of the I-864

Does the I-864, I-864EZ, or I-864A ever expire?

No, the validity of the I-864, I-864 EZ, or I-864A is considered indefinite; beginning from the date the sponsor files it with either the National Visa Center, the U.S. embassy or consulate.
