To My Fellow VJers,

I just need to get this off my head so I'm asking for your thoughts and opinions regarding this matter.

Here's our scenario in a nutshell:

2002 - 2006 - We met in the university, in Manila. We became a couple. Graduated in 2006.

2007 - 2010 - We tried to do business in Manila but return of investment is very slow and we are getting older hence the dream of settling down.

June 2010 - He went back to NY (he is a USC and his family is based there, he just went to Manila to study college) to find a job so we can settle there for good. He

wasnt able to find a job right away until after 7 months.

Feb 2011 - He got employed, a full time job where he earns above the 125% poverty line. He got another job, a part time job in his dad's business.

So basically, he has two jobs that earns above the 125% poverty line for a household of 2.

My concern is this: We don't have ITR papers to show the consulate as he just started working. My interview at the consulate will be approximately around August 2011 so by that time we can only show letter of employment and pay stubs, and some money in the bank. I've read some refusals due to lack of financial documentary requirements. I'm extremely bothered by this. Please shed me some light.

I am pretty sure you are ok. You will be able to document at least two "quarters" of petitioner earning more than the 125% poverty level. Be sure to have a letter from both employers even if one is his dad.. Good luck!!
