ORIGINAL POSTERHello everyone
We started the process for K1 visa for my better half. Haha but the wait time is 14 months. I came back to the USA to buy us a house to live in. I’m now thinking of coming back to Thailand for the remaining K1 visa wait. I was wondering would it hurt that I have no job in USA for us when we come to the USA My retirement meets all the money requirements of the visa.
Thoughts anyone

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original post discusses starting the K1 visa application process and concerns regarding the impact of not having a job in the USA on visa approval, despite meeting financial requirements through retirement funds. Commenters caution against assuming approval, mention potential issues with not having a job, and suggest delaying significant purchases like a house until the visa is secured.

You probably should hold off on buying the house until she is approved to come and stay in USA.

That's more of US immigration question. Based on my knowledge of the process, it could be an issue that you don't have a job. The wait time could also greatly exceed 14 months as well, that's just an estimate.

Do not automatically assume the visa will be approved. Many are rejected for a variety of reasons.
