input on employer letter (split topic)

[canadianinjapan 0]

Hi, My husband is going for his interview at the beginning of December. I am trying to get my employment letter etc together for him to take with him as evidence that I have a job and that I am actually living in the US because we moved from Japan last month. The problem is that I am a dog groomer and that I work basically for myself and rent a space in a grooming salon. I work for cash so it is hard to predict my my income for the year and I don't have pay stubs because I take home cash everyday. The owner of the salon has written a letter stating what I roughly make now but as I establish more clients my salary will go up. Does the figure on the letter matter that much? I have a co-sponser that filed an I-864 as well and everything was approved as is. I just want him to have as much as possible to prove that I am making money and living here. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You aren't an employee so you don't have a W2 or paystubs.

A self employed person uses their most recent year's tax return to demonstrate income. That amount is what is listed on line 22 of the form 1040. You submit your IRS tax transcript or your entire tax reurn including all supporting schedules.
