My question is me. I am self-employee working in construction. and I make cash only cash I do deposit all the money. are bank estatements sufficient for the NVC as proof?

Do you report that income on your taxes or are you basically being paid under the table?

Hello I have always done my taxes and report all my 1099's / but this is a new job and they do pay me cash only and ofcourse i will reported for next year. so basically I am working under table not at my choice. what can i do? should i write a letter my self explaining this and copies of my bank statements?

I'm no expert here but it would seem to me that you qualify under the basic self-employed title. I don't know exactly how you conduct your business but do you have any record of the contracts you've fulfilled this year so far that would show you performed work? I get that you don't have documents stating the income other than your bank statements. But maybe something proving you're actually working along with the bank statements would work? And maybe start now getting anyone that gives you money for work to write a receipt or something? I'm just throwing out suggestions & ideas here. I have no concrete information to give you. Just what I can think of. Self-employed is a new thing for me because I've never been self-employed. Maybe someone else will chime in soon with better information.

thank you so much for replying in a fast timing. sadly I can get this documents. thank you for the Ideas. I am just worry about my 864 even though I will not qualify. I have my uncle as joint sponsor and he is well of the poverty line do you think they will concentrate more on him?

Does your uncle make enough to cover his household plus you & your fiancé? If so, then I wouldn't worry too much. There are people who I've seen that have filed with no income of their own to report but have very good sponsors. Just provide your previous tax records & get the supporting documents from your uncle as well.
