Self-employment in Employment History

[Sofitalian 132]

Hi VJ members,

 

In a few months, I'll be eligible for applying under the 3-year rule. I have a question as I started to do my research.

 

After I became LPR, I worked remotely under a contract with a company in Hong Kong for a few months. When I filed taxes here (MFJ), the income was treated as self-employment income. So when I list my employment history, should I just put those few months as self-employment and not putting the name of that Hong Kong company?

Yes. Self employed.

^ Agreed. I also have long periods of self-employment and when filing out the employment history for the N-400 I basically just matched the information present in my taxes (ex. names of organizations that issued me W2's, plus periods of self-employment).
