Having a bad day....Need to get some clairfication

[no more 16]

Hi All

Sorry for coming and posting in an upset mood. But I am worried. I am a Photographer, self employed, I have 1099 for some jobs through freelancing, but most my income comes from weddings, portraits, etc. I make since i have done this full time over the poverty level. But Someone has said because i am self employed the yearly amount is alittle more. I was informed to my tax returns and to line 22. this amount is below. Before these past 2 years i was in a retail manager position making 45,000 but now I am on this line of not knowing if Bahadir and I are at jeopardy with our visa. Should I find him a business/company sponsor? WHats the best way to go about it?

I have looked on I-864 p form as directed and I cant find any information about self emplyed amount. ANYONE who can help me with this...I am a emotional mess today.....

These questions are answered everday her on Vj, why don't you start with reading this post http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/297945-125-of-poverty-level%3B-job/page__pid__4510531#entry4510531

Then do a search for topics about the I 134

Michelle,

You and Bahadir are a K-1, or I-129 Fiance Visa, right? So you will fill out the I-134 for him. Review that packet on the USCIS website. Also, you might want to consult your CPA in regards of how to fill out your forms, the I-134 and then later, the I-864. I agree with Lifesjourney, these questions are answered here on VJ all the time, so you can research those threads. Hopefully, you'll be more at ease.

Hey guys!

Thank you for the responses...I have been doing all kinds of research and I cant find anything on the self employment income rate. Thats why i am having a hard time. Or maybe I am not understanding clearly. Getting everything together for his packet and I feel myself starting to panic that everything is in order...
