Self employed and employed combined income

[Fridaythe22nd 0]

I've secured part time employment in the U.S. ( as a real employee not as a independent contractor ) and am also continuing my own business. My U.S. income showed just a couple thousand short of the required income ( just under $24,000 for fam of three ) ... my new additional employment will add $10,000 additional... this puts me past the minimum by around $8,000 ( should my self employment income persist ). Any thoughts on this setup? Thanks for any feedback!

What exactly are you asking? You either make enough or you don't. There is no gray area.

You'll be fine, we had exactly the same sort of situation, and I was worried that somehow the self-employment income wouldn't 'count', but it was not a problem. No RFE's. Just to keep things simple I would make sure to send your tax transcripts showing the combined income rather than all the w-2's and schedules(C, SE, etc) as it keeps the paperwork to a minimum. We also sent 6 months worth of paystubs for both jobs.
