Thanks again Capri and Jay Kay for your time and help. I plan to file in the next month and play it very conservatively, even line up a cosponsor in case. . Visa journey has been an invaluable service. Government websites don't exactly give you clear details about each step. No wonder some people hire attorneys.

Thank you vey much Jay and Capri for your responses. I am leaning towards filing now. After I file I hope to find out officially what they would allow should we have an interview.

Jay jay, I've been in RN school for two years working part-time plus full-time summers. When I filed for the fiancé visa I had pay stubs from past months that was enough even though my overall tax return showed income below poverty line (not including student loans). Not ideal but now I'm working full time to file for the green card.

I understand that at the interview months from now I need to show again current proof of income, either most recent pay stubs or self-employment records. I need to know if they will accept the latter in my situation, and if so how can I verify this

Thanks for the feedback.

Great response Capri. Very helpful tips. Do you know that an accounting record w/ bank statements is sufficient from personal experience? Or from a reliable source?

If I can verify I can do this, I can start a business! Otherwise it would be safe to wait until after we have the green card.

My wife is from the Philippines. Recently she came to the US on a fiance visa and we married. I have been a full-time nursing student, also working part-time (enough to show financial support for the fiance visa), but now I am taking some time off from school to work full-time. I have been employed full-time. We are getting ready to submit the paperwork for the Green card process.

However, I am considering being self-employed right now (as a tutor; I am a teacher). My 1040 from last year does not show enough financial support (my paystubs did for the fiance visa). I do not know if I go self-employed right now how I could officially demonstrate financial support this year (2013), or if I would have to wait until 2014 (I dont think that is an option for us) and show a 1040 record of self-employed income.

My questions are:

1. If I should become self-employed in the near future, is there any acceptable paperwork I can show to demonstrate financial support such as a bank record showing a month or more of income deposited into my account, copy of receipts or accounting book for my business, etc?

2. What government source on the internet or by phone can verify which documents to use? ie which government office should I contact for official information?

I would love to leave the job I have and work full-time as a tutor, but maybe I have to wait until my wife has her green card.

Thank you in advance for any feedback you can give!

Are you filing an I-129f petition? You do not need a background check for a petition. If it is a fiancee VISA application then SHE made the application at the consulate and needs the background check. Please clarify where you are at in the process.

Yes, I am filing an I-129f petition. Like I said, she sent off the petition. All done except interview.

My question was: is there a way to expedite the French background check? does anybody by chance know. thanks

Hello,

I am applying for K1 Fiance visa for my fiance. The only document lacking is her background check from when she lived in a convent for a year in France, and she has sent away for it.

Does anyone know how to expedite this?

Thanks,
