Unpaid Leave could be an issue for Affidavit of Support?

[Sunny3 0]

My husband is currently working, but he has been for almost 2 months without a paycheck because of an issue with a badge at work. Can that be a problem when we have to complete the Affidavit of Support? Should he mention that?

Depends on the actual facts on the date he will sign the form.  If he is back to work by then, he will state his current income as it will be for the next 12 months.  If he is not back to work, he cannot state that he is employed, or that he has any current income to use to qualify as your sponsor.

Can you be a bit more specific please?

Yes you mean to

It can be an issue?

Or he should mention the 2 months not getting paid and not working?

You are correct that Boiler's answer is vague.  Read mine again.  I'll be a bit more specific.  Once he is back to work, there is no need to mention a short or two or three month absence from work.  Until he is back to work, he is NOT WORKING, and unemployed with no income.  That means he will not qualify as your sponsor.  He needs to get back to work before completing, signing and submitting the affidavit of support.
