I-134 supporting documents for self employed?

[Sallinger 0]

Hi there...

Firstly, thanks to all those active contributors on the forum, myself and my fiance filed our I-129f last week and the quality of content and guidance on this site is just incredible and really helped us on the start of our journey.

I have a question however that i'm hoping people can help me to clarify. As we prepare for the next stage my fiance (petitioner-US Citizen) is beginning to complete the I-134, affidavit of support form.

She is currently working as a freelancer, and as such her income is inconsistent and from multiple sources/contracts. This means she will be unable to provide a letter from her employer stating a salary and earnings. Her latest tax return for 2013 states an income of approximately $33,000, so over the threshold of approx $20,000. Is that alone enough proof for the purposes of this form?

My concern is that on the G-325A form she has called out multiple sources of employment in the last five years, and if you look into her last tax return most of her income was earnt in the first half of 2013. I guess i'm worried that as the idea of the I-134 is to prove ongoing income and an ability to support your beneficiary, her form may be rejected should the embassy begin to do some digging into it?

Is this a case of me overanalysing the process (something i'm finding impossible not to do!) or do people feel this should be a genuine concern? We will be having our interview at the London embassy, if anyone has any specific experience of this it would be greatly appreciated if they could share it.

Thanks in advance,

Harry

By "we will be having our interview", I of course mean "I will be having my interview".
