Career move

[Rmitch86 1]

Hey guys!

NOA1 recieved from CSC and so far so good. An opportunity for a new career has presented itself and it would be a significant pay raise with a far superior home/work life balance. I am worried that if I take this new opportunity I will need to notify them and it will slow things down and give them a place they could mess up my application. Has anyone had any experience in this area? Should I pass on this in the interest of getting this process completed in the fastest way possible? Thanks.

Can you be a little more specific?

If your question is with regard to "CHANGE OF ADDRESS", then absolutely not it wont slow it down one bit.

if your question is with regard to "Biographical Data " , then dont worry about it and update the Case officer once you hit the embassy

if your question is with regard to "financial data " , then dont worry about it; The financial stuff doesn't happen until later.

PETITIONER change of address is easy to do online!

BENEFICIARY change of address is a bit more difficult, and there are a couple very recent threads which i provided the information for this.

Notify Them? Who is them?

If it USCIS they don't care if you got a new job or a pay raise...

Thanks for the response. To clarify:

1.) Neither of us will be changing our addresses.

2.) My fiancée is the one going to the embassy and I was worried they would see the biographical data and deny her based on it not matching what I submitted originally.

3.) The financial data is fine. I was just hoping they don't penalize me on tenure of employment given I have been with my current company 8 years.

I assume they understand people will always work to better their positions and are used to seeing a few employment stats change from time to time.

Perfect. Thanks. And yes I meant USCIS. Thanks for clearing this up.

I see no issues.

People change jobs all the time.

Congrats on the job offer......

once you are done with paperwork they don't care about any job changes. where you were fired or got a better job.

Congrats with the new position

Financially - no. All you need to prove is you meet minimum poverty guidelines to support your fiancee. Just make sure you keep copies of your pay slips and tax returns etc when it comes to the embassy interview. Considering you have a promotion it sounds like you are fine!

Instructions are here: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-134instr.pdf

Requirements on proof of finances for I-134 I hear depends on local embassy - you may be best heading to the VJ forum for your country on the typical evidence the US embassy requires in Czech Republic.

I see no problems, if you change addresses, then contact USCIS, call them and write them also. Use your NOA 1 info.

Otherwise congrats on doing better in this economy, the worst since Herbert Hoover was president!
