Petitioner Must be Employed ? ( this is wrong )

[Diane and Chris 651]

Obviously, you don’t need to be employed if you’re retired. Just saying.....

[NikLR 13,220]

Do you have assets that cover the difference?

I think you would be fine. My uncle is also a commercial pilot in an extremely similar situation but I don't think the right word is "unemployed" unless you work for different company every 6 months.

 

My uncle work for Iberia and he works 6 months in a row and then he is 6 months on vacation, with the exact same company. Although he is not technically working for 6 months, he is still considered an employee so he is not unemployed.

 

If this is your case, you are definitely not unemployed.

 

But even if that's the case, commercial pilots like you both make more than me and my husband working 365 hahahahaha so you will be fine

The problem here isn't about what job someone has nor how much they make in this case. Its about taxes that are or are not paid. How many months the O P works isn't important, rather what his yearly income is & if his taxes are paid. Like your relative he is employed all year.

I am almost the same but for my 6 months off i am just considered a return to work in May. My company doesn't call it vacation they just say your seasonal. But i think its fine.

I do claim UE during that time also so i am considered lay off and will return May 1 . So i think its will be fine I hope ;-)

I have not paid 2014-2015 but before the up grade of status in my country They will be paid. My attorney and 4 other separate attorneys have said that  the first interview will only want the most current year Tax return. and the other will be at the second interview for upgrade of status. So i think for now I am fine . I have current 2016 tax return and i have W2 from 2014-15  but have not paid. 

Oh well nothing I can do about it this is how it is. I will not pay 2014-15 until May and that is well before the upgrade of status.

No I have no assets. I just work 6 months for my yearly income and the only assets would be maybe 20-30k in checking and today my attorney said they will only want most current year for the first interview so i hope he is correct and the other attorneys said the same thing so i dunno i will hope it works i cannot pay 2014-15 until May my tax man has the info and can file it with one phone call for me but i told him i will wait until May. The IRS said they didnt care just as long as I pay which i will.  ;-)

It's not "wrong" necessarily but rather some embassies request multiple tax returns from years prior and some only require the most recent. Depends on the country. 

 

It doesn't matter that you do not work a 9 - 5 most of the year. They don't care. USCIS cares that you have a legitimate position (as in you don't make money illegally - commercial pilot certainly qualifies) and that you can support your beneficiary. If you make well more then the poverty income threshold for your household number then congrats, you have no problem. No need to think about it anymore. 

 

Billionaires can petition, yes. USCIS will look at significant assets in lieu of income. 

Wish i was a Billionaire lol

So in reality the O P isn't fully employed rather applies for U E benefits every 6 months. That will be indicated on his tax returns. This is the first case I have seen where 5 lawyers worked on the same case. Those 5 lawyers haven't offered any different methods nor action for the O P than he has received here on V J but there remains a cloud over the info it seems which cause him to continue to question the info.
