Anyone qualified for Sponsor with a temp-to-hire position

[rosajo 1]

So my husband started out working for well-known company as a temp employee through a staffing agency, 5 months ago. Just this month he was taken on as a temp-to-hire employee, still through the staffing agency. The probationary period is roughly 5 months. From what he hears at his workplace, no one gets the boot, and some temp workers stay temp for years even.

He's in good standing with this company, and in fact was the only temp taken on as temp-to-hire this round. *He* knows his job is in effect permanent (as in 'with likely prospects to continue'), but the question is whether a consular officer would be convinced of this when his position is not *formally* permanent yet. I don't know what their requirements are. I do know that a large portion of jobs available in the US do start out with this probationary period, so I'm hoping there are people here with a similar experience.

I don't want to hang around waiting for the interview if it's pretty certain he won't qualify. We've been apart for too long already and our kids just need both their parents, even if it means financial uncertainty in my home country.

Thanks!
