Military Proof of Income Date Format

[jennifernhoussine 0]

The usual date format of paychecks/pay stubs here in the U.S., as being used for proof of income, give the month, then the day, then the year (MM/DD/YY), and sometimes, in rare cases it is in the format of giving the day first, then the month, then the year (DD/MM/YY). However, in conjunction with the affidavit of support, the proof of income provided is the military LES (Leave and Earnings Statement), which is basically the US Military’s type of pay-stub. The dates on the LES are in the format of year first, then month, then day (YYMMDD). So, for example, the date for today would read: 091207

Will this not be confusing to the people at the consulate? I mean, they must be able to verify that the pay stubs are recent, and they may read the format of 091207 as meaning September 12, 2007.

Have others here used the US LES as proof of income? Was the date format ever an issue?

Thanks so much!

Did you have to explain what each area of the LES meant? I want to use my LES for the affidavit. I was wondering about this because the information if for some reason the consulate deosen't understand it. I don't want them sending it back to me.
