Question 7 on I 134

[Golden Boy 0]

I am a subcontractor so therefore technically self employed however my 1099's come from one specific company and have been for the last several years. Do Write I'm self employed on the I-134 or do I put the company's name along with a letter of Employment even though I'm not an Employee???

For question 7 should I just put my Gross Income for 2009 and let the Consular Officer figure the rest by presenting copies of tax transcripts and copies of 2009 tax returns inlcluding all schedules?

Time is of the essence.

Thanks

do you file your tax returns as self employed? i assume you do...

gross income

attach last filed income tax return and schedules

if you have some sort of agreement with this company that you get paid even if there's no work then i would think it wouldn't hurt to have a letter from them

For gross income, if it's gone up since your 2009 tax return, then figure it up for this year. If not, use the 2009 tax return AGI.

List yourself as self-employed, because you are. You get a 1099, not a W-2.

As self employed, you might want to also include a letter from your bank stating when your account was open, and all deposits/withdrawals for the past year, as well as some bank statements to back it up.

Good luck!
