My joint sponsor makes in excess of $100,000. She obtained a letter from her employer. She will be submitting IRS tax transcripts from the past three years. I'd think it was pretty obvious that she's making money w/o the extra evidence.

Thoughts?

Recent paystubs are good evidence that she is currently employed and earning the claimed amount.

FWIW: The goal of the process is securing the visa, not seeing how little documentation you need to supply.

Pay stubs are the easiest possible evidence to secure. One or two will be sufficient, in most cases even without an employer letter. If the employer letter is current though, there's really no need to provide pay stubs but it's just so easy to do, I don't understand the hesitation.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

Just attempting to keep things as easy as possible for our generous joint sponsor, who has already done a lot.

Thanks for your thoughts -- I've told her that if she's issued physical pay stubs that I'd like to include the latest one (even though the employment letter is current).

Cheers

It all depends on the officer who reviews it.

Your goal is to get the visa.

May be without sending paystubs, but with your employment letter, it will be approved.

May be without employment letter, but paystubs, it will be approved.

If you can get a document that secures your visa, why do you want to take a chance?

I know I make much bigger salary than the poverty line, but I included my employment letter and all 2010 paystubs with last 3 years tax transcripts. If they don't want my junk, let them trash it.

Do the IRS transcripts have to be the original ones they mail you or copies? Or both?

What about the paystubs, originals or copies, or both?

I sent original IRS tax transcripts, original employmet letter, copies of the pay stubs.
