I think pay stubs are meant to show current employment (backing up the letter from the employer), while tax returns are filed until April. The gap between April and interview at the consulate is filled with pay stubs...

Okay- I guess I will get my co-sposors since mine are not really what they care about. Thanks!

The pay stubs prove your income is sustainable. With the volatile current economy, it's very possible that the job you had Dec 31, 2009 isn't the one you're in today due to a lay off or a company going under, or pay increase/decrease, whatever. That happened to me in February, but I found a new job quickly, I'm making much more now, and am actually able to support my fiance without my co-sponsor's income. The pay stubs prove that your income is still continuing, and are more current than Dec 31. Since I got my first employer letter the day I started my job, and my attorney sent my original I-134 with my I-129F incorrectly, I got a second employer letter dated last Friday which stated that I'd completed my 90 day probationary period and am still in good standing, and have included copies of every pay stub to date from this job.

Hope that makes it a little more clear.

I included my wedding dress receipt, copies of my passport pages and his to show the POE stamps for our trips to each other, copies of phone logs, etc. for proof of relationship.

Did you include a copy of any divorce decrees if either of you have been married before? A copy of your birth certificate along with the naturalization certificate doesn't hurt.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but it seems on-topic.

RE: the paystubs, employment verification letter etc. for the I-134 form. If I'm *gainfully* self employed, and don't get typical W2 paychecks, any adivse on what to provide along w/ bank statements (personal and business) and recent tax returns?

TIA
