POE question

[g.areth 0]

Hi guys. I'd like to ask a question. Me and my finacee would like to start the k1 visa process but have a worry. For the last 2 years my fiancee has been unemployed. During that time he visited me in the US 3 times. When asked by the POE officer what he worked at he foolishly said construction. Would this hinder our forms when he puts down unemployed?

Would this hinder our forms when he puts down unemployed?

The beneficiary's (foreign fiancé/spouse) employment (or lack of) doesn't have an affect on either the petition or the visa application. Not to worry.

No

But won't they see that I answered construction to the POE officer instead of unemployed when they run checks on me?

You can still be a construction worker and be unemployed....

Not at all.

don't POE keep records of what you have said?

Not like you'd probably think...

No issue at all.

throughout this process you are dealing with several different agencies of the US Government... one not knowing much of anything what the other does

Unless you've done something to get yourself banned the POE only keeps records that you entered the country (and depending on where you come from when you left).

And like the above poster said you can be in construction and still be unemployed.
