If so, than all you need is your tax transcripts to show you made enough. 

The key is what you WILL earn over the next 12 months....not what you earned last year.  Suppose I earned $200,000 last year, but I lost my job last week?  If I am now unemployed, my current annual income is $0.  My tax transcript from last year would be irrelevant to my ability to support a new immigrant in the future.

I would hope there would be a healthy savings with that kind of income.  I believe savings & stock can all be included as evidence.

Not to be facetious, but never rely on hope with immigration.  Hard evidence is great, and yes I will concede that a record of high value savings/assets might carry you through an employment gap.  It brings other things into question though, like expenses and cost of living, which I doubt many immigration agents will want to sort through.  Might be too problematic.

But in the case of taking on a beneficiary, most of us are not millionaires with a crypto portfolio that's going to look shiny enough to these agents.  So we can entertain hypotheticals and play with exceptions or we can, in fact, look at the hard evidence and what's going to be the actual scenario.

 

Someone who is unemployed with nothing but tax transcripts from the previous year, is not providing sufficient evidence as the role of sponsor.  Just calling a spade a spade.

What's keeping you from talking to your superior at work about getting a letter?  For my work, I just wrote the entire letter and gave it to him to sign.
