I know I post here before and I apologize if I sound like I'm nagging (hehe), but I am really concerned and nervous about the visa interview for my wife. Since I changed jobs, I am quite nervous they will deny us because I don't have enough time at the new job. Also, my job pays two types of salary: regular hourly wage + commission. With my hourly wage, I make enough to support my wife and myself, however, I fall just short of the income requirement for our son who will be born 2 weeks before her interview....on the other hand, when you factor in commission, my income will be way over the poverty line. The only problem is that my commission is not "guaranteed" income. I have worked in sales in the past and I can show proof through paystubs that I am capable of achieving a monthly bonus, even with the same hourly wage I have now. My biggest concern is that I just started this job and it will be impossible to show a monthly bonus at this place before my wife's interview....but I took it because I believe in my heart that this will be a better paying job to help start my new family, otherwise, I wouldn't have made the big move and I would have just stayed at the other place......

Am I worrying too much here? I guess with the move and the baby coming, I have so many things on my mind and all I want is for this interview to go smooth for her. My income from last year was not high since we lived in Asia most of the year, but if you do the math and calculations, the my "average annual income" from last year is well above poverty, even though it was only for the last 3 months of the year......

I'm soooo soooo sorry if I am annoying anyone with this thread, but I just want what each and everyone else on here wants- to start a new life with my and new son. Please if someone can help my relax and give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate. :blink::blush::unsure:

Nah! Don't worry about us. It's all very theraputic. The best advise I can give you is to make sure you can show a good employment history. If possible, have three years of ITR's available to show the CO, or at least copies of the W-2's.
