  • Applying for green card for spouse

    Hello guys,
    I had obtained my employment based green card in the year 2017 after which I traveled to India for marriage. Unfortunately during that period, my client company shut down and I had to be laid off in May 2018. I stayed back in India and returned to the US in November 2018. After returning, I invested my time in business and that didn't do well. I got my new job in the month of May 2019 and have been working since. So as you may see, I was pretty much out of work from May 2018 till May 2019.
    I have to file I-130 for my wife. There is a section that requires you to fill in your Employment History. I would like to know if there might be an issue on the application if there are gaps in the employment history.

    Any help on this regard will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    If you end up with one or two gaps in your employment history or inexact dates, you should be prepared to explain these, but your application most likely won’t be denied for those reasons. The U.S. government is generally known to be flexible about this part of the green card application. After all, many people don’t maintain perfect records of their employment history.

    If you are unemployed, retired, or a homemaker (or stay-at-home parent), or were at any time during the past five years, you would simply write “Unemployed,” “Retired,” or “Homemaker” — whichever is applicable to you — where you would enter the name of an employer on forms I-130, I-130A, and I-485.

      Appreciate your response
      I was seeking some guidance on the lines of whether I should mention in the form about being unemployed for that period of time or maybe should I provide them with an affidavit stating that I had been "unemployed" and was invested in a business or should I leave out the unemployed phase and mention the time I was employed before that....
