proof of income and self employment

[wayno 9]

Hi once again. Still trying to sort everything out as I plan to petition around August or September. Going over the instructions, I understand she may need to bring in several of my previous pay stubbs to the interview. What if I'm self employed? As my job goes from periods where I may be employed by a company for half a year (seasonal occupation, return to same job every summer), therefore recieving checks from a payroll. Then I may go into freelance mode, meaning I work on a particular boat for several days and then get paid, and then wait for my next deal. Might go two weeks being very busy to a couple weeks without anything. At the end of the year it works out good but what if the interview would fall during my "freelance" time. would privious tax returns be acceptable? Just trying to look at all possabilities before i start the process. thanks.

If you plan to send in your petition later this year, you will have to provide tax returns for 2008.

Provide what ever pay stubs you have during 2009.

good luck

If you're self-employed you have to make copies of last year's tax return itself, not just transcripts from the IRS...this is what my husband is doing...

I'm self employed also.

I used tax transcripts from IRS as I didn't have 1099s.

They are the best you can do as they show you filed and how much you made.

Worked fine at embassy interview and AOS.
