Thank you very much. Our sponsor has driver license, permanent address, but I am not sure for utility bills... he definitely has bank account, W2, Pay Stubs, and tax return for last year. What kind of damage our lawyer made to us since he didn't told us at the beginning my husband need to have w2/1099 ... If he told us that we would definitely try to file differently. Than he didn't know for letter explanation, profit and loss and 6 months of bank statements... (I even asked for that 6 months of bank statements at the beginning of the process and he told us we don't need it), instead he insisted of adding a sponsor... and at the end he didn't mention to us that our sponsor need to have utility bills and other documents he might does not have... We had very simple case at the beginning .... now we are really afraid he made our case complicated and we do not know from were to start and how to fix it in best possible way... he didn't even answer to my question yesterday, and to be honest I don't trust him any more, because it keeps pushing us deeper into problems. We probably need to change a lawyer. Can we change sponsor if this one can not prove domicile? Can we change our tax return for 2022 and make 1099 for my husband (accountant told us this is legal and possible but is costly)? But we still do not have 1099 for 2021, and they keep asking for 2021. I guess we should try first with the letter of explanation for my husband, profit and loss, and 6 months of bank statement....and for the sponsor we could submit document he has as a proof of domicile and see if they will accept it ... but if this does not work we need to have other solutions. We really want to live together without separations... we live like that for more than 4 years... it's been really hard, and we are really tired and very anxious that it keeps prolonging for so long

Can't believe it will be almost 3 years since we submitted first documents... and we are an "easy case".

Thank you very much for response. I know is off the topic now but they are asking for proof of US domicile for sponsor as well ... how many documents we should include and which one is the best to prove that? We already sent Pay Stub, W2, Tax returns. Is bank account, permanent address and drivers license will be sufficient? I am not sure if he currently has ownership or activity lease, or if he is registered to vote.

Why my question is deleted ?

Thank you very much for the answer. No, we didn't send letter with explanation. Did you notarised it before submission? In which section you were adding that letter? Please let us know if this letter worked out for you. We consider doing that as well. I am little confused why the lawyer didn't do that but instead advised us to find someone with W2 for sponsorship.

Hello, Please advice. At the beginning of our visa journey we hired a lawyer in hope we will not have any surprises and mistakes. My husband is US citizen and we were hoping I will join him soon in US. We got married in July 2020, filed everything in September 2020, first part was OK and in March 2021 we submitted all documents to NVC. My husband owns a S-Corporation and has no W2/1099 only 1020S for 2021 individual tux return. Form 1020S prove his income through S-corporation. Since he often travels outside of US because we use our last chance to have kids through IVF (we are in our 40s). We literally have natural IVF cycle every month, he is not employed and does not have W2 or 1099, but he has more than enough income through his S-corporation to support me. We did submitted tax return for 2021 for our company, 1099 for company, his individual tax return with 1020S and information of his income through s-corporation. NVC keep asking and asking for his W2/1099 form. Unfortunately our lawyer told us at the begging that this will not be a problem, and now he telling us that they changed rules. He advised us to find sponsor with W2 form (which was not logical to me, but we did it anyway). He submitted all necessary documents for my cosponsor. I received the same message again “Please submit every W2/1099 for XX (my husband) for 2021” We are miserable and to be honest we don’t know what to do anymore. Do you have any advise for us? We will greatly appreciate any help
