You do not need to submit payment stubs. It is only a suggestion unless the government requests to see them. If she has tax returns for the past 3 years that show over 125% poverty line (for the both of you) that is all that is necessary.

If you do not have that information, you can also have a joint sponsor. They do NOT have to live in the same house as you. It can be a family member or a friend...

"A joint sponsor can be any U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident who is at least 18 years old,domiciled in the United States, or its territories or possessions,and willing to be held jointly liable with the petitioner for thesupport of the intending immigrant. A joint sponsor does nothave to be related to the petitioning sponsor or the intendingimmigrant."

This does not mean your mother HAS to support you. It just means that if you go on welfare the government can technically ask her to pay them back for your welfare money.
