That is great news! Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the clarifications. I have a better understanding now of this topic.

Hi folks, This is a long way off. But I like to plan things out in advance. My wife's English is passable, but she does yeah me a lot. When I was there, I found communicating a little more difficult than I thought it would be. There were clear situations where she would nod or affirmatively respond, but it was clear she didn't know what I was asking. It is a difficult subject to approach with her because she seems almost offended if I raise anything about our communications / her English speaking skills. My question is, should I insist on hiring a translator to go to the interview with her? Just in case? Her interview will be in Manila. Maybe their Filipino will be sufficient to not require one? I just want to make sure there are no issues that reset her immigration process once we get to that point. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks, Drew

To clarify, I am referring to the Affidavit of Support phase after the i-130 processes.

Hi folks, I have filed the form i-130 to bring my wife over from the Philippines. I provided my work history for the past five years. Since 2019, I have made 6 figures each year. But for 2018, I drove rideshare all year and my "income" after expenses was like 8,000 USD. There is just about 3 months if you go back 5 years starting from today where I was working that job self-employed. Will this mess things up for me? Or are they just looking at my current income? I think by the time they actually process the form, that will be outside of the 5 year period anyway. Thanks, Drew
