Hello! How are you all?????

I have just one quick question.

For the I-134 it asks for annual salary. Here is where the problem comes in. My recent income tax shows that I made only 7grand from working until may of 2008 here in america.(reason being I went back to the philippines and stayed there for about 11months.

Currently, I am working now at Frys Electronics, with an hourly wage of 11/hour, and I work 37.50 hours per week. I don't know what "numbers" I should state on the question.

Please any advices or helpful tips I would gladly appreciate it.! Thank you very much for all your help!!

annual is the total salary for the year before taxes. So the total amount you would make in 1 year before subtraction for taxes.

determine annual salary based upon your current pay

If you are working full-time - you can calculate your annual salary as : hourly rate X 2080 hours/year = annual salary (or $22,800 using your numbers). This is likely how the Embassy/Consulate would calculate it. Also, they will primarily base your qualifications on your current salary so your previous (2008) tax return will only play a small role (if at all) in their decision. (Technically annual salary is what you would/did enter on Line 22 on a 1040 Tax Return form if you worked the entire year.)

ya, people get tripped up with the different between:

1) accrued salary vs

2) annual salary.

Rarely the same thing.

If have employment letter, then the annual salary amount is listed, there.

Good luck, both of you !
