Which Employer Name do I use at interview? Confusing situation

[devusr 41]

I work for Company A. I'm the petitioner. Wife is the beneficiary.

 

In 2021, Company A was acquired by Company B.

In 2022, Company B was acquired by Company C. Company B is considered a Company C company amongst their many companies.

The Federal Employer identification number is the same for all of my W-2s. The Employer State ID is slightly different (an extra number was added recently).

 

All of the W-2's shows address of employer as Company A.

 

As far as I know, I'm still working for Company B and not Company C. Everything, all the branding and such, is Company B.

 

My question is, if the consular officer asks which employer I work for, what should my wife say? Company A, B, or C. How does she justify it?

The evidence you use to prove CURRENT annual income will provide the answer.   Current annual income is calculated as follows:

 

Gross income from most recent pay stub multiplied times the number of pay periods per year= Current annual income.

Thanks, I know this but my question is regarding the Employer Name.

The pay stub(s) you submit to show current income will have a company name on it, yes?  You are overthinking this.

The company name on your pay stub is the answer.

There are 2 more issues I just noticed:

 

1) The Pay stubs state "Taxable Marital Status: Single". My Tax Filing Transcript for Tax Year 2021 from IRS however state Married Filing Separately (MFS).

 

2) The Pay Stubs have a extra letter in my middle name. Instead of "tu" I sometimes spelt it as "thu" (added an H). My drivers license, passport, SSN all are without the "H" but my paystub and work profile is with the "H" in the middle name.

 

Will these 2 issues cause any issues at the interview?

1.  Not an issue.  That is your W-4 status which is irrelevant to tax filing status (which wouldn't be an issue either).

2.  Not an issue.  Don't sweat the small things.

Good luck.

Ditto.  For logical conclusion of the "employer name" discussion, the pay stub is about current income, nothing else, so nobody cares about the company name changes.  The verbal answer needs to match the current income evidence, which is the pay stub, as to company name.
