Should I tell my wife to leave her JOB

[daddydean9631 0]

I guess this is not a question i should be asking but i just wanted to share and see if anyone has have this problem. Well my wife will be coming up soon for her interview in the Dominican Republic next month. We where having this talk about when she should leave her job. Yes i would love to have my Wife my love of my life here with me. But at the same time you never know what will happen at the interview. I feel very strong about us and our relationship and the many times i have visit that country sense 2009 over 15 times. But my question to all is should i tell her to let her job know

now that she is putting in her notice or just wait? My wife work in Punta Cana and have a good job. Her job told her if she put in her notice she has to work 15 days in order to received her money she save with the company. I do not want her to lose her money and i don't want her to tell her job at this time she is planning on leaving soon, but because they told her if she was to leave they can not guarantee her job back. Yes i do want my wife here with me as soon as the interview if done. But i guess i waited this long i can wait 3 weeks to a month for her to come to the USA.

Wait. You'll never know if you have AP, or if the visa system crashes, or what else.

I would advice to wait til she get the visa on hand, you don't know something might come up like system crash or ap but hopefully no delays tho. I left my job with Bank of America overseas after I got my visa.

I thought the visa/passport turnaround time is about 2 weeks after passing the interview.

So if I was her, I would quit right after I get approved but not before.

My fiancee was approved last Thursday, and we are not even going to book the airplane ticket

until she receives the passport/visa in her hand. Just trying to play safe all the way.

yes many of my family has told me the same thing to do to. it would also give her time to pack and send off what ever she want to bring here to the U.S. thank you

thank everyone for replying back to me. the one thing i think about is if she was to go back to work for the 15 days she will not be around to get her visa. tell me will they still leave her visa at her home or will she have to pick it up? Because she will have to work 15 days straight before she will be able to come back home to her house.

She could wait until the visa is in her hand and then give her notice.

2 weeks is nothing in confront of a lifetime together... Wait till visa is in hand... Give her time to wrap up,her old life before starting her new one...

I had to put resignation letter a month before the actual date for resign otherwise I wouldn't received any benefits from the company. The good thing was that my bosses already knew about my visa process and communicated with them and prepared the replacement worker for me. I had to train my replacement prior my resignation.

I was resigned officially per February 1 2014, I put my resignation letter on December 31st, 2013, my then- fiancé ( my now husband) came to Jakarta on January 20th, my interview on January 21st, visa was received on January 24th and flew out to the US with him on February 8th. I was considered myself quite lucky seemed everything went smooth but I already had back up plan in case my visa was denied at that time.

I know many have already said it, but I will provide my 2 cents. My wife and I had already gotten plane tickets and she quit her job. We were to have the interview in September 2013 and fly out in mid October 2013. We went in for the interview and she was denied the visa. This came as a shock but we made due(still trying to get the visa now). Not trying to scare you, but this can be a reality. I would wait until you are officially approved for the visa.

sorry to hear that UH60Chief , hope your wife will get her visa soon.

that's quite a scary info.

Im still far from getting the visa yet cause we just got approval from USCIS recently. But me and my hubby already discussed about not going to put in my resignation until I have the visa on hand. My company has 45-60 days notice policy but we have waited this long already so another 45 days wont hurt if we will wait.

Also not wanting to scare you but we have a similar shock for us...

My Fiance and I thought it would go quickly once we were approved but he actually lost his job when they found out we were approved for the visa. A little later his savings ran out and he went to live with family to wait for the interview and got sick with TB just before our interview and medical exam.

He just finished his 8 months of treatment and retesting... Ojala we will receive the visa soon!!

Things happen... let it unfold as it should... God knows what best and why...
