Question regarding financial documents

[Meggan P 40]

My employer wrote a letter that states I am PRN (this means as needed) but the position is considered permanent . It's true we are prn, but I work full time. Being considered prn has to do with choosing what clients we will and will not work with. Is this going to cause a problem being sent with my tax info? I meet the income requirement. Should I send pay stubs instead?

Tax information only shows what you reported.  It does not indicate current income (which is what is required for determining ability to support the new immigrant). If the letter says you are full time, then I don't think there would be an issue.

If you have a tax document showing enough on total income, Line 22 of the 1040, then you will get approved in London with nothing else needed. You can skip the employer letter if you find it confusing. Recent pay stubs can be included if you want extra proof.

According to the instructions for the I-134, tax returns are used for self-employed......am I missing something?

This is exactly what it states i cropped it to take out other info. It says PRN. This means as needed. Im not aware if the embassy will ask my fiance about this or assume uts meaning. My pay stubs show 40 hours plus so thats why im not sure to use this. 

 

Concerning your question about tax documents...lots of other people here who have been recently have shown employment letter and tax form with no problems.

I'm not saying it would be a problem, just that the instructions are usually literal.  I think having the letter and pay stubs are plenty.....but tax forms don't indicate current income...Good Luck.

Maybe you haven't read hundreds of K1 interview experiences at London.  A tax return works. They barely look at the I-134 if it is sufficient and do not even discuss it. 

 

The point of saying a tax return is required for self-employed is 

• They don't have an employer to write a letter in some cases unless a contractor
• Same as above for pay stubs.
• And mostly because when filing self-employed (Schedule C) total income taken in for your product or service is not the full picture. There can be business expenses, cost of making goods sold, insurance, marketing, equipment, utilities, etc which are deducted on Scedule C. The bottom line income from that business is the profit/loss from final figures. That is on a tax return. Self employed must provide a tax return.

It may be different at other consulates, but at London they are asking for tax returns regardless. However, if you don't have the tax return, W2's and an employment letter suffice. I had payslips as well but they just took the W2's and employment letter from me (I had 5 years worth).

 

The CO I spoke to said they are less concerned with the K1's, so as long as you have something to support the information on the I-134 then it's okay. 

 

@Meggan P If you are able to get your last years tax return / W2 (if available) this will be enough together with a letter confirming you're still employed. They are just needing to make sure that 1) you have a guaranteed income and 2) that income is enough. This is a preliminary check as later on when it gets to the AoS there will more in depth financial checks as far as I'm aware, that will require the last 3 years worth of tax returns etc.

 

Better to heed the advice of those who have gone through London embassy for K1, and have also done so quite recently.
