Proof of Employment - I'm self-employed...

[2BMarriedNMaghreb 0]

Hello all.

I am bursting with questions - but I'll start with these two.

1) I was asked for proof of employment while filling out papers at the adoul's office: I told them, I am self-employed. They said I would need something - but I have to say, what is it they need?

2) When I was younger and easily stupider, to help my teacher get a work and residence visa years and years ago (just about 10), I filled out a marriage certificate in Morocco. And then, I never saw my teacher again. Ever. Now, today, I want to be married to another for love. But I am seriously concerned this old 'good deed' of mine is going to come back to haunt me. For example, I distinctly remember in the proceedings something that said 'You must never marry another Moroccan" I hope someone can relieve me of my concerns on this account.

(Additional info: The first Moroccan marriage never resulted in my teacher traveling to America, since I would have had to be part of that process - which I wasn't)

Anyway, I post these things somewhat anxiously and look forward to replies - thank you in advance!

Hi,

for your first question, I would say income tax forms would probably suffice. If you don't keep your copies, you can request it from the IRS.

As far as your second question, I would think that you would need to track this person down and get a divorce, because you are technically married.

Question #1 -- Yes, as sonicliz advised, you can use tax returns to prove income. Alternatively, you could provide proof of assets (such as bank accounts, real estate, etc.) to show that you meet the income requirements.

Question #2 -- Frankly, if immigration officials got wind of what you are describing as a "good deed," they might consider it as you having admitted the abetting of attempted visa fraud (even if he never actually obtained the visa.)

Indeed, as sonicliz already commented, it sounds as if you are still legally married. You need to be officially divorced before you can file a petition for either a fiance or a husband. Seek legal counsel.

If they are asking for proof of employment, and you are self-employed, then a letter from your company explaining your position and a business registration would suffice.

As for the other issue, I shall not comment.

I am also self employed and needed "proof" for AOS (married in US). I used a copy of my Certificate of Occupancy (Business Registration). Since it needs to be renewed every year, I included copies of the last 4 yrs even tho I've been in business for 15 yrs. Also, the tax returns would be good to add. Just for the heck of it, I also included my business card and brochure of services.

Can't help w/ Q#2........

good luck!
