AOS and a Job

[dwheels76 5,468]

Been reading around about affidavit of support and just wanted to verify with anyone who knows. Am I as the USC required to be employed even if we get a co-sponsor? We may have to get a sponsor because I am still unemployed. But I read that i am required to at least be employed even if I don't meet guidelines.

No, you are not required to be employed.

Make sure, your co-sponsor meets with the requirement.

There are rarely denials if you have a well qualified co sponsor. However getting started in the US with a household of 2 unemployed people is going to be at best stressfull.

Oh I have passed the stress level into the neurotic OCD now. But I know the job will come. Not to worry about that. Just in my field very very competitive, But should hear good news this week. Thank God for unemployment.

Trying our hardest not to have to have a co-sponsor but think I may need to ask someone.

Well do thanks.
