thanks p-ana, it is good to hear from someone that went specifically to the RDJ consulte. I still am not sure if I should claim self-employed or employed, given that I have both paystubs but own the company. I personally think it is very weird to say you are self-employed and show pay stubs... 2 layers recommended that I claim I am self employed tho, hence all this insecurity I've been spilling all over this thread.

You know the correct answer.  Trust and do it.  Move on to more important things

As to that I can’t and won’t comment. I’m not familiar with US taxes.

Hey, 

 

I had my interview at the consulate and it was very smooth. They only asked a few questions about me and my fiancee's relationship history. No questions about my work or financial history. I went with self-employed and presented my last year's tax return. The interesting part to me was that I over prepared and brought letters from financial institutions, bank statements, pay stubs, W-2s, 1099s, tax return forms (schedule E) etc... the first officer that reviews the documentation said they wouldn't need all that and returned pretty much everything, except the tax return. I guess over preparing actually showed we care and were trying to do everything correctly, even if they didn't use it. I hope the information in this thread helps others in a similar situation, even though every consulate is different and the requirements and approach might change as well. I assume consulates are very different actually but it is always better to over prepared than to under-prepare.

I think you were adequately advised
