To Co-Sponsor, or Not to Co-Sponsor

[Simo-Britt 0]

Hi everyone! Hope your days are going well and for those waiting that the wait will be short.

I'm the petitioner writing this.

SO let's get to it. I just recently got an email from NVC stating that I can go ahead and start sending the email doc and paying fees. Everything is going smoothly except this:

The Problems:

-I make enough in actuality but it's in cash (server job) and I can't prove that and my paystubs only show my hourly (4.25)

-Last year I didn't report enough of my income and I'm not sure what this year looks like

SO questions are:

1. Is there a way to prove my income even though it's a variable/not-fixed?

2. Since I make above the poverty limit do I need a co-sponsor?

It's out of the question for me to get another job to supplement (I already work full time and go to school part time). I'm just wondering if the solution is with my employer signing a paper, but I can't imagine any boss willingly wanting to sign a paper like this. My tax guy said something going to them asking for a W-4 or something but I figured I'd go to the wise ones here first. I'm essentially screwed if I need a co-sponsor because I have begged looked for months to no avail.

If someone has a solution I might make them homemade cookies.

Thanks everyone Britt and Simo

The only way for you to prove your cash income is to claim it on your taxes

Therein lies the problem. This fiscal year just started, how am I to prove an income above the poverty limit when only a few months have passed?

Pass year we show with Tax returns and W2's. Current paystubs and Letter of employment.
