Yet another I-864 thread. (Self-employed AND employed by a company)

Hello friends!

First, I'm sorry to clog the site with yet another 864 question. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out. I'm working on my joint sponsor's 864 with him and just wanted to make sure I'm doing this in the most effective way possible. I had to use a joint sponsor as I live abroad and am paid in JPY.


Here's what we have prepared:

6 months of paystubs from normal job. (I figured this is best for 864 Part 6 Line 7 as his self-employed income isn't easily determined and he's well over the threshold with his normal job. I figure there's no need to over complicate I-864 line 7 with the burden of more proof and paperwork, but maybe I'm mistaken.)
3 years of IRS Transcripts
3 years of tax records. (Looks like he filled Schedule C,D, and SE as he is runs his own side gig, though not even close to his main source of income.) He makes around a $1000ish profit (as per Schedule D line 31) from the side gig and the remaining 50-ish thousand from his actual job.

He's been employed at the real job for the past year, though his past 3 years of filing have still been well beyond the threshold. He's also younger so I figured that showing the last 3 years of transcripts wouldn't hurt.
He is single and files accordingly. I think the whole self employed bit is causing me to overthink.

Just to make sure I've got this right:

I know that some folks have gotten RFEs for not including tax records (1040,W-2,etc etc.) along-side transcripts. I also know that folks have gotten RFEs for mismatched income numbers.
I'm trying to strike a balance of providing enough info, as well as not providing so much that I could make a mistake.

Here are the numbers that match:

IRS Transcript TOTAL INCOME: 56,039
1040 Line 9: 56,039

Or

IRS Transcript page 1, WAGES, SALARIES, TIPS, ETC: 54,750
1040 Line 1: 54,750

I've seen 1040 line 11 thrown around on the site and his says 55,956, but I can't see where that number would have come from on the IRS Transcript. I'm not sure I should even need to look that carefully.

So finally my questions.

1. Part 6. Number 2. Should I include the self employment even though he is over the threshold with his normal job or is it better to just let it be? Would I need to provide proof of that self employment in addition to the 1040, schedules, etc?

2. Part 6, 24a,24b,24c. Which number should I be inserting if he is BOTH employed at a company and self employed (albeit hardly)

3. Is it safe to just use paystubs for his current job to calculate CURRENT income and ignore the side-gig as it doesn't disqualify him from being a sponsor.

Sorry for the super lengthy post. I tried to be as detailed as possible.
Thanks in advance!

submitted my I-130.

my wife has, or had Dual Nationality. In Japan her name is Suzuki taiko, but changed to Suzuki gd7 after we married. In Korea her name is suzuki seoul,

on the I-130 form i put suzuki gd7 and taiko as other names used. I forgot to put her Korean family name "seoul" in other names used.

Her mother is Korean, and Her father is Japanese.

Non of the paperwork submitted so far has her Korean name family name.

my wife has spent time and gone to school in Korea.

My wife has valid passports for Japan and Korea.

How big of a mistake is this?

Is there a way to fix it?

would It cause problems if I say she only has Japanese Nationality on the ds-0230 form?

I-130 Approved, but confused about instructions

Hello,

I have filed form I-130 to get my step son to the United States.

We received an approval letter and the instructions seem odd to me.

The letter states that the petition has been approved, however, I indicated on the petition that the beneficiary intends to apply for an immigrant visa abroad at a U.S. Embassy or a U.S. Consulate and will also apply for adjustment of status in the United States. Since I indicated both options, USCIS has retained the petition.

What do I do now? Do I have to file form i-485 before he can even come here?

We have waited 10 months for this petition and now we will have to wait who knows how long for the next one?

I thought this petition would allow him to get a visa and come here then we will do the adjustment of status after he was here.

When I checked my USCIS today, it says upload evidence is required.

Does anyone know what should I upload for the ' Copy of the identity document submitted for the beneficiary with the original Form I-131. ?

Thank you.

Important reminder if you need to update a beneficiary s physical address or phone number

To update their information, upload a letter that includes the following:
