I have a question about how would someone report their income if they are self employed? I called NVC today and she let me know that right now, I will be reporting the income for 2005, (of course). I made well over the poverty lines according to the guidelines.

So for part 6, I will put my current status? Self employed.. is this the same as an independant contractor? Filing with a 1099? Hmmm, I dont know...... this is my first time using one of these forms. Pretty much check box b, right?

For the current individual income, is this inclusive of the job I had until 8/06 and what I make now, or only from self employment?

I will be sending in tax transcripts for the last 3 years, pretty much that same as with the I-134.

We didn't get the I-129, and it hasnt been "officially denied" either, so I am riding the horse until the legs fall off.......

Thanks for your input.

Administrators.... please do not move.......

I am self-employed. The instructions for I-864 only require your most recent tax return or transcript (i.e. 2005 as of right now), which is what I sent in (copy of 2005 transcript). I do not receive 1099's or W-2's. My tax return is how I verify my income for immigration.

As far as your income on I-864, if I were you I would report all of your income for 2005, whether from your job or self employment.

Hope this helps.
