Unfairly lost my job right before filing

[justicejs 0]

My fiance and I are almost ready to file for my K-1, and I'm worried about being unemployed.

I explained to my boss that I would like to travel to the states, and was told that my job would be held for me until I came back. Even though I had told him I could be gone for up to 6 months, I was assured my job when I returned.

So anyway, my boss did not keep my job for me. He replaced me almost as soon as I left, and I was jobless when I got home. I'm hunting for a new one right now and have some really reliable leads, BUT, at this moment I'm unemployed. I'm really worried about putting that on the application, because I don't think it looks good.

I have 2 options. Wait until I find a job so I can put that on the application, OR put that I'm unemployed and attach a separate page explaining the situation (that I was unfairly dismissed from my job and should have a new one soon). Is that advisable, or would they completely look past it?? I'm a hard worker, and I do NOT want them to think that some lazy person is trying to immigrate to the states!!

Stop worrying, they don't care about the beneficiary's employment situation; only about the petitioner's

Your job or lack of it is irrelevant for your immigration process; your US partner has to have an income.

Ignore my first reply if you managed to read it in time, I misread your question. The beneficiary's employment doesn't matter at all.

What Celeste said

My husband was unemployed at the time we filed, didn't make any difference at all. In fact I was unemployed at the time as well, only a student. I had a cosponsor so that's all they cared about.

Sorry to hear about your job. Don't worry though, you aren't coming here to work, you're coming to join your partner. They don't care about your employment at all, here or there. As long as you have a sponsor/cosponsor it really doesn't matter.

Yup what everyone said. I left a job of 15 years to come here and had no job upon arriving also because you are not allowed to work until you get your green card or your advanced parole document. You can't just cross over and start working with the proper authorization. So many people come over the border without a job because of this. And as others have said, it's about the income of the US citizen and being able to support you. Focu on finding work once you get here and once you are authorized to do so.
