Commision based Income for Consular Interview

[Gra and Daniel 0]

I have a few questions regarding the I 134. I will start off with that I made $32k in 2007. In 2005 and 2006, I was part-time worker because I was a full time student. So, my 05-06 Tax Returns will be weak, but my 2007 will fully support the minimum 125% (household of 2). Ok. Good there. Year to date 2008, I have made $12k. Here is the thing. In 07 and this year, I have made 100% commision based pay. I received inconsistant pay every month, that has totaled to over 12k so far this year. Given that I will have a letter of explanation from my employer and the rest of supporting docs, how would you think that I stand being the sponsor for my fiancee? Do I look good seeing that I made barely any money in 05/06 and have been commision based since Jan. 2007? Will they just assume that I will consitantly make $4000 a month for the rest of the year or will they not like that I do not receive salary but inconsitant commision based pay? Any insite would be greatly appreciated.

You should be just fine. They mostly care about current income which that department is fine. If you can show any assets that you have to help back you up but other than that you will be just fine.

You are over the 125% poverty line for 2007 - you are good to go - no need to show assets etc. One way of income is not considered better than the others - anyone can get fired or laid off in a day as can a business go under in a day. They just need to see that currently you are doing okay. Good Luck

Income is income, commission or otherwise.
