thinking about quitting my job

[AmandaG 0]

So I am thinking about quitting my job and moving to costa diva during this wait for our visa. I lived in costa diva for two years and have moved back to the states to make money to pay for all the costs that come with the visa. I am sick of waiting and miss my fiance so much. Not sure how this will effect us I am going to have a sponser. But not sure if we will get denied if I am unemployed. Please help with any info.

I know the wait is hard, but quitting your job at this point might cause more harm than good. They will not look too kindly at your unemployment during the interview. How about a short vacation instead? Hang in there, its a daunting process, but it does and it will end.

I've been told as long as you have a sponsor and their income satisfies the income requirements to support both you and your fiance that it's ok.

I'm sort of in the same position as you except I've been in Mexico for 2 years now and have no job in the US (obviously lol). I'm not going back to the US until my fiance can come with me!

I hope what I've been told is true, otherwise we're going to have to look into other options.

Costa rica

I was wondering where Costa diva was.

You should ask people who went through the Costa Rica consulate.. In Manila they are very strict about this matter, and our co-sponsor was not even considered. My fiance made just above the poverty line and yet he was still questioned about it. Maybe in Costa Rica it is different though

Costa Rica is pretty relaxed about the interviewing. So many Americans are residing there that I doubt it would even be an issue - especially if you have a co-sponsor for your financials.

A couple things to keep in mind too though:

The Costa Rican embassy moves quick, quick, quick once you get past your NOA2. Look at our timeline: We had our interview less than a month after our NOA2 was issued. The wait may seem SO hard right now, but if will help to set you guys up to be more successful by having your job, and getting things ready for his arrival, it would be better to stay here and wait for your NOA2. Once that's issued, hop on the next flight to SJO!

I'd be happy to talk to share more details about our experience if you'd like to PM me. Bueno suerte con su tico!

Does your Co-Sponsor know that you are going to quit your job ?
