Employment

My fiance has an Interview at the end of June.

When I filled out our paperwork I was in school and unemployed. So I used my Dad as a Co-Sponsor.

I started working yesterday and I was wondering if I need to notify the embassy that I'm now employed? Or Should I just have my employer write a letter stating that I am employed and send it to my fiance?

Does not matter, you dont have to do anything. If you just started working means you dont yet have filed the taxes, which you will do at end of the year so there is really nothing from your end that you need to show you are employed now.

Also you being employed now does not change anything in your application, so would not matter.

Agree with the above post^^^^^^. You will still need a co-sponsor.

Hi there, I would still suggest that you get a job letter and take it with you just in case. It shows good faith that the two of you as a couple are less likely to become a public charge. I recently started working again after a long stretch of unemployment and I only have check stubs going back 2 months. I will take my job offer letter, a letter I had my boss write after I started working (March), my check stubs, my unemployment check stubs, and my tax records. God willing this will be enough to show at the embassy interview. My opinion......something is better than nothing be blessed and good luck!

If it were me - I'd redo the I-134 (and include whatever you did before plus the new supporting documents; i.e., pay stubs - letter from employer if they'll issue one). The Embassy may still decide to use the co-sponsor but you never know.

FWIW - not having your current (or any previous) employer on last year's tax return doesn't necessarily make a person who is working now, ineligible to sponsor.

I Agree with Otto that showing proof of Currant Income is important even though the interview is only 3 weeks away it's better than nothing.

Fed-Ex a letter from employer, paystubs, etc. better than nothing.

So I disagree with every post except for the one listed above.

It is to late to send to the Embassy. Send to your Fiancee.

This is embassy specific, for the Jamaican embassy, showing 3 weeks of pay stub, the embassy will request a co-sponsor.

I will NOT have 3 weeks of pay stubs I will only have one pay stub. My pay is bi-weekly. I just started working on the 1st of June, My employer will have not problem writing me a letter. Will one pay-stub and a letter be ok?

Continue as you were going to do before you got this job, save the paystubs and employer letter for the AOS process.
