Changing Jobs Post-Filing I-129f

[Connie and Me 1]

Not sure if anyone has dealt with this particular situation, but here goes:

I am currently in a job that is going sour in a hurry. I'm considering looking for something new, however, I have already sent my I-129f package and it has been accepted and don't want to make any life changes that will delay processing of my petition. I'm less than one month past my NOA1, so I doubt anyone at VSC has done anything with my papers. Is there a way to update the employment information without creating a delay or other issues, or would it be wise to stay put, deal with the job, and avoid changes?

Any and all advice welcome! Thanks!

In this economy it is quite normal for job transitions. The main thing that you need is to keep continuity of jobs and have supporting documentation of your past and current employment status and income. You are at the petition stage which does not involve your finances. USCIS is concerned about if you are both single and willing to marry and do not have any red flags that suggest immigration fraud. The consulate will worry about your finances when you get to that point, which will probably be in the early summer. In theory, you can submit additional paperwork, but I wouldn't worry about this. You should make sure your fiancee has everything up to date on her end.

Excellent! That was about what I was expecting, but wanted to throw it out there just in case. Thanks for the advice garfield. Sets my mind at ease.

Won't be a problem at all. About a month after filing my i-129F, I started a new job making more money. You'll just update yoru job info after you receive your NOA2 and you're working on your next set of paperwork! No worries!
