Dear all,

My bf and I are studying/collecting information about K1 visa petition. I can really feel that VJ is a very useful platform to learn tips and share experiences, making our lives easier!

I have some questions. If I, as a foreign fiancee, happens to be unemployed during the K1 petition process and also the time being intervieweed by the Consulate of my home country (Hong Kong), will my "unemployed" status decrease the chance of getting K1 visa? Actually, I had over 10-year working experience but I quitted my job in Sep last year and flew to the US to spend time with my bf for 6 months on travel visa. I returned to Hong Kong in Mar this year and currently looking for a job to earn some money. I worry what would happen on the visa petition if i am not lucky enough to get a job? Or, the US Consulate/USCIS concerns more about my bf (US citizen)'s financial background?

I feel like I am giving myself a lot of pressure suddenly....

Helen

I don't think being unemployed in HK will be an issue as long as you will not become a public charge when you get to the

US. They will look more on your Fiance's income.

HKG IV concerned with petitioner's income, not the visa applicant.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
