I am the petitioner, my wife will be interviewing on August 16th. I switched jobs and began working on August 1st for my new employer. If the interviewer asks my wife where I am currently working, I told her to give them my current job even though the Consulate/Embassy has no compensation details regarding this position. Is that going to create any sponsorship problems as my income on my tax returns came from my previous jobs with different employers?

Thank you all for the tremendous help! We couldn't have gotten this far without you!

You will need to provide your wife an updated I-864 that reflects your job change so that she can submit it at interview time.

I will provide the updated form I-864, will be making $30,000 + commissions. Should I put $30,000 + commissions or just $30,000?

My first pay stub will be August 15th, should I print that out if it is available to show proof of income?

Will this delay the process of receiving a green card since she will be submitting an updated I-864?

Thanks again.

Disregard the above answer.

1) I just realized, I am still receiving paychecks from my previous job since I am an independent sales representative and my previous employer was my uncle (I am still getting paid from my previous job for new sales). Technically, I have two forms of income currently. Should we just say I still work the previous job for the sake of convenience?

2) If I decide to provide the updated form I-864, I am making $30,000 + commissions. Should I put $30,000 + commissions or just $30,000? My first pay stub will be August 15th, should I print that out if it is available to show proof of income?

3) Will this delay the process of receiving a green card since she will be submitting an updated I-864?

Please advise. Not sure what to do since I get income from two different jobs and not submitting the updated I-864 would be easier and possibly not delay the outcome.

Thanks again for everything Ryan, you are the man.
