SPOUSAL VISA CR1
hello po, I just wanna ask if my US Citizen husband really need a job? He is a Veteran Military, he has a benefits from military for the rest of his lives, so we look at the poverty guidelines and we are qualified because his benfits is enough for the both of us, and also we don't have kids yet, we're going to have if he has already get a job soon, but if our case gets approved (USCIS) then when we are in the NVC Stage, some of the requirements are certificate of employment and need his paystub for 3-6months, do you guys think they're not gonna qualify us because we don't have those requirements yet and my husband is still not working, do you think he really need to get a job as soon as possible or we're good??
please give us some advice what are we gonna do, really appreciate it, just comment down below, thankyou in advance
🥺🥺

As far as I understand he just has to have a certain income to sponsor you. he can proof that he will receive the benefits and show that the money comes in every month. That should be fine, but I could be wrong.

depending on income, if it’s not enough for him to sponsor you, you will need to get another sponsor.

Im on your exact same boat. my husband is a 90% disabled veteran. He doesnt work, we only have his benefits and it is good for the both of us with no children. We already got the 6 steps of NVC approved. We uploaded his benefits letter, and screenshots from the USAA bank account “transaction details” to prove the steady income

and no, we didnt need a sponsor, another job, or tax papers from years before. the VA letter and the screenshots from the bank account were enough. If I got approved with all of that, so can you! good luck to you and your husband.
I’m currently just waiting for my appointment at the local embassy

my husband is in the UK with me so we do not have any qualifying income. However, my understanding is that if you don’t meet the income requirements then you can show assets 3x the poverty line. eg if your husband owns his home you could add that to the affidavit.
