Question about employment?

[just_friend 2]

I have a question/problem. I am not employed and I am a little bit worried about the interview for K1 visa. I read the VJ wiki and the questions they might ask me at the interview and one of the questions is 'what do you do for living?" well it might be strange but I don't work. I help my mom at her job but I don't have any documents for being employed and so on. Do you think that might be a problem? Do you think I should get hired and any job just for the document that shows I receive any kind of income? I just graduated my university and I haven't really looked for a job.The money are not really an issue but I have a denial of a tourist visa because of not being employed and now I am wondering if they will make it a problem again.

Any thoughts or suggestions are wellcome

Thanks

employment is not a problem for the benneficiary as it is expected they will emigrate... it could be a problem for the USC

Yeah darl, your going to have a few probs if you cant prove your making 125% above the poverty line so your going to need to get yourself a job ... Will your mum be willing to co-sponsor, if not your going to need to find a co-sponsor that will meet the requirements ... If money isnt a problem and you have a few $$ stashed away that can be added into the assets side and will help but under the circumstances you will need to get some sort of employment or have mum start paying you for the work you do for her so you can have pay stubs etc that are required ...

I really dont know a 'ell of a lot because my fiance did this side of things but youll get people coming in and giving you advice soon enough ...

Good luck with everything!

OHH .. are they the benificiary? I thought they were the petitioner ... If they are the benificary they dont need to be employed ... Im not currently employed in a paid position but Im doing volunteer work so when i got to parts that asked about my employment I just filled in VOLUNTEER RECEPTIONIST put in address etc as normal ...

Yes I am the beneficiary. My fiancee (the USC) is making more than the povery line. I was just wondering if they might think it's a problem if I don't have a stable income. Do you think it will be enogh if I show bank statements that I have savings but no income? As I already said I had a denial on a tourst visa just after I graduated when I wanted to visit my fiancee. They said I don't have strong connections or something with my home country?!?!?

I am afraid this might be a problem again. I don't really understand why money are really an ussue. Seriously. When I was interviewed there was a girl who was going to the states just for shopping.????

they do not care about your financial situation ... they don't care if you have $1 or $100,000.... your finances will not be addressed... This is very different than a tourist visa application.... where your finances are more important

Benificiary doesnt need to be employed .. there income is never taken into consideration thru the entire process even if they have proof they will be employed when they go to the states and have the appropriate paperwork... The petitioner is the one that needs to prove they can support the fiance/wife during the process ...

I dont know why your tourist visa was denied ..but from what you said you didnt have enough evidence that you had strong ties to your country so in their eyes there was a risk that you would enter and not leave ... the girl on the shopping spree prob had a lot of evidence that she was heading back home when she was done ...

So really at this point you need to concern yourself with getting enough evidence together to prove you and your fiance have a bona fide relationship and that will include phone bills, photoes, letters etc ...

Good luck, youll be just fine! just because a tourist visa got rejected doesnt mean your k1 will be .. Just get all the evidence you need for the interview etc.

No, employment is not an issue for the foreign fiancee.

based from my experience, it was not a problem. I was not working when i had the interview...i put on the form unemployed...i didnt have any bank statements with me as well coz' it was not on the requirements in the first place. Just focus on ur petitioner's affidavit of suppport, 3 years income tax with W2s, certificate of employment and his bank statements. Those are the documents that my consul checked thoroughly. They want to make sure we will be supported by our fiances and we wont be liabilities in the US...

Being that you are going to be entering the USA on a K1 visa this time, you don't need to prove that you have strong connections with your country. You are going to the US to live there. Anyway, YOU don't have to worry about being employed or anything. Your spouse, the USC, is the one who needs to be making the money.
