Q: DS-160 form asks petitioner's monthly income.Is that gross income of his company or how much he gets after he pays us ?
I'm working under O1-B visa and going back to my country for a vacation in summer. So I have to take an interview at consulate and now I'm filling out DS 160 form to apply. DS-160 form ask me about petitioner's monthly income but I don't know if it asks me the gross income of his company or the amount he actually gets after he pays to his employee. Does it include tax ?? It also asks me his address. Should I write the address of his company or his home address ? I don't even know why they ask such things....I would really appreciate if you could help me !
A: These sound like "Donald Trump Era" questions. In general, "income" on immigration or visa application forms means gross income, not after tax income. It sounds as if the purpose of the question is to make sure that you will really continue to be working in your O-1 job, and you may need to bring more proof of this when you go for your visa interview.
