Hey guys, so this is my situation right now.
I'm the sponsor, I've been with my guy since Sept 2012 (We got Islamically married in late 2014, we're getting legally married this month of June 2015. No wedding because we cannot afford it at this time).
I'm young, 20 years old. Dropped out of school in grade 10. In the process of getting my GED now so that I can get a good job, but we may have the app complete before that happens, and of course, the goal is to send it out as soon as possible. Is it a good idea to send it out while being unemployed?
My mom and step-dad are both working full time hours, and both make approximately 60,000 a year. They are both extremely supportive of me and my relationship in every way imaginable. Examples:
1.) They bought us a car and they pay for gas, monthly car payment, monthly insurance payment, and car maintenance expenses. Essentially everything. They are consistent, reliable, punctual.
2.) They renovated the basement of their detached home specifically for my partner and I to live in. It's beautiful: ceramic flooring, high end stainless steel appliances for the kitchen, living area, master, bathroom, and even a storage area. It's tip top. Also, they don't expect us to pay them a single penny.
3.) My mom bought me my smartphone and pays for its monthly service.
4.) They've given the entire garage space to my partner. My partner intends to convert it into his own woodworking shop. Again, they don't expect a penny for this or anything else.
Do you think that there is a good or even high chance of our app being accepted if I am unemployed?
My intentions are to get my GED, get a decent job at a bank (I have 5 family members who work in this bank and can guarantee I get in), and go to college because I eventually want to become a teacher and author.
His intentions are to design and build unique, custom furniture and sell them. Until then, he would obtain an income through painting/fixing things/woodworking, etc. He also knows some plumbing, he is an all around handyman. He's 26, this is what he's been doing all his life. His father has a plastering business, so he picked it up naturally. Downside to this is he was never certified. Will this be a problem if I present this to CIC without certification?
In addition to those two financial goals, he'd probably also get a part time job in retail, probably a painting/woodworking etc specialty store. He also may or may not return to school.
Furthermore, because he's sort of self-employed back home in Pittsburgh (he lives in Pitt, PA), he never did taxes before.
What do you guys think of all this?
Would this fact of my unemployment lessen my chances of approval? Should I wait until I do get my GED and a job before submitting the app?
Additional background info about me: My last job was in mid 2014 I think. I worked as a photolab technician at Shoppers Drug Mart for 1.5 years. I was promoted to supervisor, and demoted back to photolab after 3 months. When confronted of the news, I quit my job on the spot, so I left on bad terms with them.
The only other job I've ever had was in 2011 or 2012, I was 16 years old, worked again at Shoppers (diff location) for 0.5 years.
Greatly appreciative of any help.
