Hey there! My fiancé and I are about to start our K1 visa. I had a question about my details when I receive my pack. I'm actually taking a career break at the end of the year to enable me to visit my fiancé for 7 weeks to be sure this is the right thing for us. Will not have a permanent job when I submit my details have an impact on an application even though I've been employed by same employer for last 11 years?

Should add we know this is the right thing but want the opportunity to spend a longer period of time together. Just worried about employment details upon application.

That's the intention, my current employer won't allow me to take a unpaid period of leave. I'm working on getting a job before I leave, but requesting unpaid leave so I can continue employment when I return.

They won't care on the initial application, As long as you have a job by the time that you have to show your financial support then you're fine. That's basically say a month or two before the visa interview. If you don't have a job by then, you'll either need to have enough assets to cover not having a job or have a co-sponsor if your country allows co-sponsors.

The only thing they really judge on the intial application are the validity of the relationship and if you missed anything paperwork wise. It won't be til the interview that they scrutinize income.

Plenty of people here have been unemployed and it didn't impact their K1 visa because they either had enough assets or a cosponsor that met what was needed. If you're still unemployed by then you can always add in a statement with your paperwork attesting that you are looking for a job and plan to work full time ASAP. It can make you feel better and depending on the person doing the interview, could give them a peace of mind that they aren't going to send their countrymen into a bad situation.

My fiancé who is in the States is employed and will be employed for many years. I'm in the UK so it'll be me moving. I have plenty of savings to support myself upon moving.
