Hi All, We just received our visa approval on the 23rd. To answer your question about the employment letter and pay stubs. We submitted my last 3 years tax return with the W2's. The W2's showed the same employer which was a help. I changed jobs so I included a recent pay stub to verify my income. The VO did not ask for any thing else besides the I-864 with the tax returns and W2's. He told my wife that the tax returns and W2's were the best forms to use just as the I-864 states. If there was going to be a problem it would have been with us. I had only made 1 trip to China and we were married on that trip. My wifes English is poor and I was unable to even go to be with her at the interview. My boss provided a letter stating my presence was required at my job and that I was unable to take any vacation at this time. All I can say is that we carefully followed all instructions and had any and all documents required including those that they didn't ask for and still got our visa. This forum was a big help but be patient and do exactly what is required. GOOD LUCK my friend, I wish you well
