Hi everyone. We're a small family of 3, and I'm looking forward to having my wife and daughter move in with me soon. Just the interview left now- it feels like we are so close to the goal!

My wife has applied for the IR-1 and my daughter for IR-2 immigration visas.

Right now I'm quite confused because I make my living offering personal services on a cash basis.

My transactions are exclusively cash, and I'm self employed. I'm pretty confused about how to provide proof of self employment on the form... any help please?

You would have your returns as self employed.

Do any of your cash transactions generate a 1099 form at the end of the year? I'm self-employed and 1099 forms are my proof. When attached to a 1040 tax return they can be similar to a W-2 paycheck stub.

Unfortunately I don't have any 1099 forms generated :-( I simply identify my earnings as 'Business Income'.

I have filed tax returns... is this enough? What further proof can I give?

Don't know if just tax returns will be enough. I've seen posts here on VJ in the past that indicate usually it's insufficient, when you're self-employed. There was one recently by a professional gambler who was in the same situation as you, and he was issued a 221g for proof of income at the interview. Only other suggestion I have would be bank statements showing deposits. Good luck.
