Petitioner Unemployed but has Co-sponsor, Now the paperwork?!

[Cassandra+Yuibi 0]

I asked this question (accidently) in the wrong forum, so hopefully I'll get some more responses here because my confusion has already deepend.

I mailed my fiance all of the documentation that he would need (I-134, etc) a month ago. Last week a ridiculous chain in events led to me putting in my two weeks notice at my workplace. I technically made enough to be his sponsor, but I did have my father fill out an I-134 as co-sponsor just to be on the safe-side. Since there is no chance that I will still be employed by the time my fiance has his interview I have a question as to how the paperwork should be arranged with the new situation.

I do know that, with a co-sponsor who makes enough salary to support us all, that there shouldn't be a problem with my fiance getting approved. However, my question is: Should I fill out, notarize, and send my fiance a new I-134 from me showing that I have no job? Or should my fiance just not give an I-134 from me at the interview and only supply the co-sponsor Affidavit of Support? Or even, have him turn over my co-sponsor's I-134 and a statement from myself which would say something along the lines of "I will be employed by the time my fiance applies for Adjustment of Status"

Any input is welcome. I especially would like to hear from someone who was also unemployed and had to rely on a co-sponsor for their interview so that I can hear how someone else handled this.

I want to make sure I do this 'properly' as that I don't want to upset the lean, mean, beaurocratic machine and thus somehow end up without a visa for my fiance due to paperwork not being 'perfect'. I'm sure I've got a while- USCIS has been moving at a breakneck speed (for a snail) with every step of the process for us, so I'll use the time to make sure things are taken care of.

Being honest is never a bad thing. As you said with your co-sponsor you are "on the up and up" in terms of the I-134. If you can get it done fast enough then fill out another I-134 reflecting your current situation and along with the co-sponsor form that you are getting (which financially qualifies you) send it all to your fiance for the interview. You will have less stress and know you did it all by the books! Good luck!

Thank you very much. So in the part where it says "I am in the business of..." I just put unemployed? I guess I'll include a statement about my job situation (that i was steadily employed for a long time and will find a new job asap) and hope that satisfies them. :]

Yep. If you have the co-sponsor that for sure covers you then you are ok.

Thank you very much. Glad I have time to fix it- although not so glad that I have the time because it took two months for CSC to mail my petition after approval But, with any luck my fiance will escape a hastle

Always read up about the experiences of others at your consulate.

They may want an affidavit from the beneficiaries petitioner and they may not.

It would be especially wise for those petitioning the Philippine consulate to read about the experiences of others using a joint sponsor.
