New job - include bonus on I-134?

[microcebus 40]

My fiancee is having her interview in Sydney in just over 2 weeks.  I've just changed jobs to a full-time permanent position with much more stable income than my previous self-employment, so I'll definitely want to send my fiancee an updated I-134.

 

Self-employment had me make only around 150% FPL (before business expenses) for this year to date since I had to deal with a long famine cycle.  My new salary is quite a bit higher.  But it also includes an estimated 10% in variable pay based on how well the company is doing.

 

I won't receive my first paycheck from my new employer until after her interview.  So I will send my fiancee a copy of the offer letter and an employment verification letter if I can get one.

 

Given that I'm starting my new job tomorrow (so last year's W-2 is not an option), what should I put for my annual income on the new I-134?  Base pay plus bonus or base pay only?  In my updated I-134 cover letter, I'm also including an estimate with breakdown of how much income I expect to have on my 1040 for TY 2018.  That'll be several times the limit.

 

For what it's worth, the package I sent my fiancee in September also has extensive evidence of my self-employment income and my assets, plus a joint sponsor's I-134 with evidence (only if we really, really need it).
