I am facing a real concern. I am about to submit my marriage-based GC application. I am currently on H1-B but my department plans to stop its operation in three months. It means I will lose my job in three months. This is expected. So we did I-864 based on his income. Up to this point, we are financially qualified for I-864.

What unexpected is my husband might lose his job in a month. We do not have enough assets and we have only us in the same household.

Now what should I do to best protect our case? Will his job loss be discussed in the GC interview (if by then he didn't find a new job).

Really concerned. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and knowledge.

If the US citizen spouse cannot qualify based on income and/or assets then they would need to find a co/joint sponsor. This can be any USC or LPR.

my husband recently lost his job...our application is being processed, and we have a co-sponsor/joint sponsor and have not had any issues yet *knock on wood* Recently my AP/EAD has been approved, just waiting for the documents to arrive in the mail. My advice would be to look into obtaining a co-sponsor/joint sponsor just incase he does happen to loose his job within the month. As for your second question, I too was wondering about if my husband didnt have a job by our G/C interview if it would be an issue or not? Even though there is a good chance that I could be working by then. We're just hoping for the best. Good Luck!
