self employed

HI

I posted this in the UK thread but didnt get a response so i posted same thing here. i have posted before on the subject but its worrying me,

I am really struggling with what i am supposed to do regarding affidavit of support for someone who is self employed, my lawyer advised it was gross income, but then reading some stories on here it is net, if its gross then we have well above whats required. but then after everything thats written off we would struggle.

would a potential letter of employment for me help any or not at all.

Thanks

Donna

gross not net as far as I understand it.

It's either Total Income or Adjusted Gross Income.

Call USCIS and ask them

It's your gross income but where you are self-employed it will be taken after your adjustments are made.

Each Consulate can be very different in their requirements, especially where the I-134 really has no legal standards set.

I contacted Auckland and asked specifically what they would require from me being self-employed. In our case it was last years tax returns (1099 with all schedules), letter from contractors stating I had an ongoing relationship/jobs with them and I also sent some pay sheets as well.

Very true Kimand Russ,

Donna whatever you do dont call USCIS - thats just a major cluster ya know what - xxxxxxx

Some pretty good advice here but from the I-130 status is was after adjustments, but pray that PSHBRK shows up - guy knows all
