We are almost at the end of our journey, but wondering if anyone can give insight on a job related matter/ consulate interview.

My husband (CR-1 Applicant) has already been offered a great job offer in USA, though we're not there yet. He has already signed the contract, though of course there is a claus about how it won't be "official" until he gets the POE stamp on his visa.

Is this something we should bring with us to our interview at the consulate? Or will it somehow hinder us? I only ask because I don't want them to think we've been too* advantageous about obtaining the visa within a certain time frame- as the start date is less than a month after our interview!

Anyone have a similar experience or recommendation?

Thanks in advance!

I don't see how it would hurt you. You are simply trying to plan your life, right? When you marry and intend to migrate to the US, it makes sense to explore job options as well.

I have a k1 visa status and at my interview at the Amsterdam consulate the interviewer even asked me about my career plans in the US. I said I had been exploring several job opportunities since we got engaged. That was not a problem. Your husband's contract is conditional upon his POE stamp, so you are not doing anything illegal I'd say.
