Tough to say... Looks like you are pretty much through the NVC process... And you might not be asked additional

employment/financial questions during the consulate interview. However, it appears he will exceed the level

required for this year (unemployment + possible employment). It is a bit of a gamble. I suspect you would

be approved.

However, To have a joint-sponser to only be presented at the interview,,, if absolutely needed would not

be a bad idea.

Personally I wouldn't use his unemployment as an income if he is presently recieving it. He has proof from his previous years of work on his W2 that he can meet the minimum standards. He should put down his company that he will be working for this coming September as his employment since that will be his employment even though he is presently laid off. His past is proof and they wont ask for proof he is presently working or not, but he definately should NOT say that he is recieving unemployment as his income unless he includes a joint-sponsor because it does not meet the minimum required income standards.
