i130 employment question

[malav07 0]

Hello,

I am currently a citizen of US and filled the i130 petition for my spouse in February. Recently, I was laid off from my job and am in process of finding another one. Will this in anyway delay the approval of i130?

I understand the need to have a joint sponsor in the case I do not find another job when submitting the affidavit of support.

Please advise. Thank you.

hi

no, the i130 is to establish relationship between you and your wife.

No it's impossible to delay the I-130.

However you have plenty of time at the NVC. They require you to keep in contact with them once per year. So you could send the DS-261, wait a year, send the DS-260 and IV, wait a year, send the AOS.... Make sense?

Thank you both for the help in addressing my question. I am relieved.
