DS-160 Monthly Income ITR Problem

[harble 19]

It's quite common for small businesses in the Philippines to declare a different amount in the Income Tax Return from the actual income.

 

I was wondering if anybody can give advise on this? I'm planning to get my Tourist visa and am having trouble what to put in monthly income in form DS-160. Will it be okay to just say the actual income and show the bank statement? Will they be able to know the contents of the ITR on their records/ will they require me to show it to them? How can you explain the discrepancy and would they usually understand the circumstances? 

 

Thank you!

Didn't find an exact answer to your question.   What I found simple states - current proof of income.      Sorry I wasn't more helpful

Supporting Documents

Supporting documents are only one of many factors a consular officer will consider in your interview. Consular officers look at each application individually and consider professional, social, cultural and other factors during adjudication. Consular officers may look at your specific intentions, family situation, and your long-range plans and prospects within your country of residence. Each case is examined individually and is accorded every consideration under the law.

Caution: Do not present false documents. Fraud or misrepresentation can result in permanent visa ineligibility. If confidentiality is of concern, the applicant should bring the documents to the Embassy in a sealed envelope. The Embassy will not make this information available to anyone and will respect the confidentiality of the information.

You should bring the following documents to your interview. Original documents are always preferred over photocopies and you must bring these documents with you to the interview. Do not fax, email or mail any supporting documents to the Embassy.

• Current proof of income, tax payments, property or business ownership, or assets.
• Your travel itinerary and/or other explanation about your planned trip.
• A letter from you employer detailing your position, salary, how long you have been employed, any authorized vacation, and the business purpose, if any, of your U.S. trip.
• Criminal/court records pertaining to any arrest or conviction anywhere, even if you completed your sentence or were later pardoned.

Additionally, based on your purpose of travel, you should consider bringing the following:

• Students
  Bring your latest school results, transcripts and degrees/diplomas. Also bring evidence of financial support such as monthly bank statements, fixed deposit slips, or other evidence.

   

  Working adults
  Bring an employment letter from your employer and pay slips from the most recent three months.

   

  Business visitors and company directors
  Bring evidence of your position in the company and remuneration.

   

  Visiting a relative
  Bring photocopies of your relative's proof of status (e.g. Green Card, naturalization certificate, valid visa, etc).

  If you were previously in the United States, any documents attesting to your immigration or visa status.
