So I am/was living and working in Guam making above the minimum to qualify.. Took a few days off to fly to the Philippines to see my fiance.

I got contacted from my manager telling me my salary deal was revoked then next day we got noa2 approval notice.

Been a roller coaster of ideas and thoughts since then. I didn't fly back on my return flight... Deciding "all was lost" and made a plan to just stay here long term..

But now fiance and I have basically decided we should continue on with the process and see what comes..

I'm jobless now..although i have employment letter paystubs and the like..

Just blown away by the bad luck and horrible timing of it all.

Dunno what to do frankly..

Feel completely devastated by this unforeseen course of events..

Theres really no hope of finding a quick job that will make above minimum in guam..took me 2 months to find this last one and i had to beg them to let me work 60 hrs a week..

Feel like i should throw in the towel on k1 and just stay here in the Philippines with her and get married here..but am too confused

Cosponsor? Not sure..

I lived off savings (in Philippines) for plus one year before deciding to go to guam to find a job that'd qualify for the k1..only worked at it for 5 months..

Can't you find a sponsor?

How long were you working your old job? Why are you just going to give up, you have to keep going ahead for both you and your fiance.

Nope won't frown on the "job hopping", as long as you have good documentation; Employer letter stating your gross income, etc., copies of pay stubs (as many as you can collect between now and interview date). Still provide your tax return and W2 as it is listed as required.
