HELP! - TIME SENSITIVE!!

Hi everyone,

Recently, my fiancee was denied a K-1 visa at the Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, because apparently co-sponsors are not accepted here (and I didn't make enough money in 2007).

However, I learned they would accept my 2008 tax return as proof of income. So, I immediately filed with H & R Block, as I did make adequate income last year. Part of it is from W-2 income, and the other from painting houses on the side.

The CPA told me I had to file as "Self-Employed" on part of the return in order to do this. Anyway, I've been feeling positive about the whole thing, as I have the tax return in hand showing enough income. But I suddenly began wondering if the Embassy might require any additional documentation for the self-employed section, like receipts, etc, as a majority of my income came from it.

Does anyone know whether they'll require extra documentation beyond just my federal tax return to show proof of the income I made painting houses? Please note that I'm not talking about the requirements of the I-134, as all that stuff has been taken care of/turned in. I ask this because I didn't do a good job of collecting/keeping track of my receipts, as I didn't anticipate needing them.

I'm in Bangkok here with my fiancee and have to go to the Embassy tomorrow, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
