Can Form I-129F be summited without having be actively in a job at that moment

[Patience Samuel 0]

Can he file while he is out of job , he is working on getting another job sooner 

Can we still go ahead to summit our form ,is it advisable to summit the I-129F 

or he should wait still when he gets a job before filing it

Perfectly fine to file I-129F while out of work. You will have around 8+ months to secure better financial situation in advance of the interview and further steps (AOS).

 

You should however prepare a joint sponsor in the event that when income does become relevant, should your partner not meet income requirements.

yes, you can file the 129F already even he is out of job. Affidavit of support was not asked for me during the entire k1 process to be very honest. Most of the time they only ask those documents when you get the United States and go through the process of adjustment status.

Must vary by country then since I was 100% asked for proof of income and taxes etc. once the application was sent to the local consulate BEFORE any visa would be issued.

FWIW, I filed an I-129F without a job. I had just finished a 7 year continuous block as a software engineer working very long hours so I took some time off. I had prepared a I-134 for my then fiancé's interview as well as a joint sponsor. I had considered using assets in my affidavit but it seemed that having a joint sponsor is more compelling. I got a job during the adjustment of status phase.
