Wife changing jobs during Concurrent filling of i130 + AOS

[kaidewb16 0]

Hey all,

 

I'll make this quick.

My wife and I filed my i130 alongside my AOS and my i765 back in July. We had an RFE requesting initial evidence for her income in August which we sent off in September. We are yet to hear from them. 

 

My wife can no longer work in her current role as it is mentally and physically draining her. She feels she cannot continue this role as it does more harm than good.

 

She is quitting her job and is hoping to find one asap. (She typically has no issues finding new employment)

 

My question is - Will this effect our case?

I spoke to a uscis advisor prior to this decision and he had stated that the uscis would never ask someone to 'put their life on hold' in terms of employment for immigrstion purposes and looking to better themselves. He just stated that when it comes time for the interview, we should alert them and provide evidence for her job change and proof of income. 

 

Would 1-2 weeks of unemployment effect our case in anyway? She currently earns above the 125% and her new role will also be above the 125%.

 

Thank you.

Kaide.

I don't think it would affect your case.

Just do what the person from USCIS told you - be prepared to show proof of employment at the interview.
