well my w2 for 2008 shows i made 31,920. for the year i have the w2 im still employed and just on workmas comp right now so im thinking as long as i submit my w2 and letter from employee plus my stubs from workmans comp i should be ok. whats your opinion cause just with my workmans comp i only make 24,320 for 2009 but wouldnt they base it off my 2008 pay?

if someone could help me with this i would appreciate it.i just need to know if i use my 2008 w2 and my letter from employer if that will be fine or will i need to use my workmans comp also? i need to figure this out soon as i can so i can start dealing with things.

Nobody can really guess what's going to happen. It depends on the consular officer. The only thing specifically mentioned on the Manila embassy website that must be submitted with the I-134 is a copy of last year's tax return. They don't mention anything about pay stubs or letters of employment. However, when they send the final letter out to the beneficiary they can ask for virtually anything they want to ask for. It's common for them to ask for a letter from your employer confirming that you are employed and what your pay rate is, and copies of recent pay stubs.

Your situation is 'iffy' because if they ask for recent pay stubs then you won't be able to demonstrate on annual income that is high enough. People here have reported that the CO's in Manila are reluctant to accept co-sponsors.

Honestly, you're still months away from needing any of this stuff. Is there a chance you'll be off workman's comp by then, and be back to work?

well im hoping to be back to work before the time of interview but i am not sure. all i can do is submit my letter from employer then the w2 and see what happens before the interview i hope to be back to work .should be ok cause i will have the letter from my employer and my last years w2 to show my income but just in case i will try to hurry my doctors up...lol not that its easy to rush a doctor but hey i can try

You don't have to submit any of this stuff until the interview. If they DO ask for pay stubs, they're going to want them to be recent, so anything you collect now (aside from last year's tax return) isn't going to be much use by the time the interview comes around.

It probably wouldn't hurt if the letter from your employer stated when they expected you to finish your medical treatment and return to work.
