Please help

I am trying to prepare the I-134 form to be ready for our NOA2.. I am finding it very hard to understand exactly what they are going to be looking for. We will be fine together here as far as money goes although my financial situation may look different than most. I am an apartment manager which allows me to work rent off so there is no "paychecks". I just started a new job here which I am independent and have only had one paycheck from that so far, and I work once a week at a night club.

I am trying to say that although I do make enough money to survive, there is not a lot of proof of it now.

My brother is going to co-sponsor Nora and he makes decent money and owns his house. After he fills out the I-134, should he also include a letter explaining that he will assume financial responsibility if ever she (us) needed it?

I am very confused with that whole process. If someone has dealt with a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate any advice. I just need to know the best way to present that situation to the USCIS..

I also have an ongoing IRS dilemma as a result of a previous employer filing me as an independent contracter when I was not. I set up a monthly installment agreement with the IRS as I could not pay it in full at this time. Does anybody know if that will affect the outcome?

THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!!

One thing that helps is to have any employer you have write a letter stating how long you have worked for them, what you do and how much you make. Even if you work off your rent, it has a value. Make sure that you use that as part of your income. You probably have to put what you owe to the IRS as part of any debts though. Good luck. I didn't have a complicated situation and even I hated that form.

Starting with the basics:

Have you been filing taxes? (Particularly for 2008?) If so, did you report income on it?
