Income barely meets 125% with unreported tips

[M&E <3 6]

My situation is this. We have received NOA2 and are preparing income information and affidavit of support. I am employed by a valet company and also self employed. Just this year, I have claimed just over the 125% requirement to the IRS, but because of initially unreported tips. My concern is that there is no paper trail of the tips, just the Tax forms in a .pdf that I sent to the IRS. I can also get a statement from my employer of my 7 year employment and "average" tips made per pay period. Should I do this and is it enough?

In addition, my employer has agreed to let me report tips onto the paystubs for next month. I can provide just these 2 pay stubs for my fiances interview. Does this look suspicious and should I do this?

Thank you for the help.

For the K-1 you need I-134 and I believe that one is 100% of FPL.

Later for AOS you need I-864 and 125% of FPL.

If you're self employed then you would have a Schedule C and Schedule SE as part of your tax return, right? If your Form 1040 Line 22 shows enough income, then that would be all the proof London would require. You might want to order a tax transcript if your W2 doesn't back up the reported income....meaning if the W2 is below the level because you have other income with no paper trail. The tax return transcript is a little more official coming from the IRS and should be sufficient proof all by itself.

Awesome thank you Nick. Yeah everything matches up perfectly and that line is over the income requirement. The tips job and my self employment income are added up over the 125% So I'll probably be good. However I'm unable to order a tax transcript for 2015 as of right now and only have the pdf through turbo tax. That's part of why I'm going to all this trouble to have multiple pieces of evidence of my income.

Send your W2 with the TurboTax PDF to make it a "complete tax return". London is not very strict about the I-134 and does not require piles of different proofs.

In the end, they never even wanted my transcript, just statement from employers. Very strange. We were approved in London in about 5 minutes!
