two part time jobs okay?

[LoveLoveLove 18]

Hi all!

We are approved few days ago and my fiance started to gather up documents for our I-134.

He currently has two permanent part time jobs and with the hours he makes, we can reach the 125% bracket.

He requested for a letter of employment from one of his employers last week and it was given to him today. The problem is, the HR officer said they cannot compute for his annual salary because he had inconsistent hours in his first 2-months of employment in the company (he is with the company for 8mos now). The letter of employment just states it is a part time job, his hourly pay and his job title.

We are not sure what to do about it. We have been looking up for a similar situation like ours in the forums but we cannot find any.

Anybody had the same problem like this? And any suggestions?

Thank you.

Can he print out some sort of log of his work hours? and supply pay stubs that show YTD on them?

Thank you. His employer has records of his work hours since he started on his job, just the HR cannot compute or project his annual salary because of the work hours inconsistencies on his first few months working there.

perhaps you could make copies of his last 4 or 6 months of pay check stubs, add up the gross pay ( 4 months x 3, 6 months x 2 ) and use that to project his annual rate of pay.

I believe this is why they also want tax transcripts. With part time jobs money will always be inconsistent. He may be 16 hours one week and then 25 another. He may also work overtime a couple of days and make 1.5x his normal pay. However, tax transcripts will show the interviewer about what can be expected throughout the year. I understand he has only been at a job for 8 months and does not have a years worth of wages in 2010 to show what he will make in a year, however, they want to make sure you will be taken care of financially and medically (if needed) when you arrive in the US.

Someone from the regional forum might be of more help. I have read that the Manila embassy does not take cosponsers, but this might be the only way to make it work especially if he cannot prove 125% above poverty over the last 3 years on his tax transcripts.

Someone more familiar with the Philippines Consulate will probably be of more help though.

Thank you so much for the inputs.

He has been employed for 5 years as full time until the company he works in closed last year, so we have no problem meeting the 125% above poverty bracket over the last three years. It's just the burden of proving that we are still on a good standing even now that he has 2 part time jobs. And we also decided on declaring his other assets for additional proof that we meet the qualifications.

I would include the additional assets as just a backup. They may not be needed but it is better safe than sorry if you are not feeling confident that you can prove the income. I have seen it on here what the % needs to be met with assets but I cannot remember the number but I know people know what it is on the site and can give it to you.

What Sunandmoon stated might not hurt either. Try projecting his yearly income. If he is guaranteed a certain amount of hours at his work, maybe HR can put that into the letter so that they will know the minimum amount he will make. If the minimum puts him over the 125% mark this will probably work. If he needs additional days/hours/overtime to reach 125%, then this may not be the best of ideas.
