One more thing while we're on this.

I'm at a loss as to answering the question about intended occupation. We want to try our hands at importing and exporting goods into and out of Africa.

Do the CO look at this with scrutiny?

If the beneficiary plans on working, then you can answer "yes, with EAD".

I put SAHM, as we had no immediate plans for me to work outside the home, and it was no problem.

Right.

So if you then list a secondary school, as an example, do you also have to then present the certificate to the CO? My beneficiary didn't believe in record keeping (we'll have to work on that) so my fear is taht if I list something then I have to back i tup. But I also don't want to omit anything so it doesn't look like mirepresentation.

I wished that we have copies of the high school certificates, not sure if they give out primary school certificates.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, my husband is much like your beneficiary and didn't have his stuff together when it came to providing the information needed to fill out this part of the form. I struggled with filling it out and actually did end up omitting some things and estimating some dates. I just knew it was going to be a problem at the interview, but the CO never asked about education or asked to see any certificates. All of his questions were focused on our relationship and how well we knew each other.

I answered “undecided” to that question. My husband was employed in his country, but we didn’t want to limit ourselves once he got here. Therefore, we left ourselves open to him having whatever job became available to him until he could get something better. The CO never brought it up.

Even if you decide to put “none”, why would it matter? If you and your beneficiary decide it’s best that they remain unemployed and work only in the home, that’s your choice and your business. I don’t see why anyone would have anything to say about that, especially since your AOS is supposed to prove that you can support your household.
