Would the Beneficiary being on Unemployment cause problems?

Hello again.

My fiancee has just finished University and is merely waiting for our visa application to be finished to move here. However, the time between then and now is likely atleast 5 more months, if not more.

This weekend she moves to London to live with her sister(on that note, if anyone could tell me what I need to do to notify the USCIS about her change of address, that'd be appreciated). There's no way she can afford to live in London without SOME kind of income. She has every intention of looking for a job, but if she can't find one by August she's going to have to figure something out.

If she goes on unemployment, but continues to actively seek a job, will it hurt our petition?

I'm sorry, you have no timeline. Did you start your K1 process already? If not she can put unemployed and if she gets a job she can change the information with the embassy later. It's not a problem. She can tell them she wasn't looking for a job because she was planning on staying in London, but because she had to pay her bills and plus the K1 process is also very expensive. Just be honest, honesty won't be a problem. Good luck on your journey!

The USCIS doesn't really care that much about whether the beneficiary can support themselves once they are here (they can't until they adjust status anyway) but are more concerned with whether you as the petitioner and sponsor will be abe to support them. (or whether your co-signer can).
