Questions before starting the Visa K1 process

[misspasta 0]

Hello, thank you for reading. 

My fiancee is american and we want to apply for a K1, but I have some concerns.

First he didn't make enough income. Gladly, now he found a new job where he makes enough money but we don't know when to start the paper work. We don't know if we need to wait so that he shows a stable salary? He has been working for 3 months now. Some people have told me its not important but others say its better to wait, so that for the day of the interview he has been working for at least 1 year. What do you think? 

Secondly, they ask for my job history in the last 5 years and I havent worked. I was at the university. Is that important?

Thank you.

No reason to wait since it will be 6+ months before you interview. 

 

Your work history or non history not important. 

 

Its always best to identify the country where your interview will occur

Thanks for your answer Someone told me if we apply soon, there is a chance the embassy asks for a co-sponsor and we want to avoid that since we don't have anyone that can help us. I'm from Argentina.

The standard is that he is currently earning (on an annualized basis) sufficient income at the time of interview.

Have the two of you met face to face as yet?   That is required.  Since the USC is working on a new job, and you may be planing on working to help out once you get to the US,  it may be something to consider the USC Travel to Arg, and get married, then file CR1.  Yes, it takes about 6 months longer for you to get here, BUT you can save maybe thousands, AND you can work as soon as you come in to the US.  There is NO Adjustment of Status to get a GC.  the KI, you may wait 6 months to get an EAD to work, and maybe a year later from that to get your GC.
