Los Angeles DTV Update Workcation: Remote Employee (I do not own the company)
I simply wanted to share my experience so far. LA continues to be a long and difficult process for DTV.
Reading experiences from previous people who applied, I added way more documents than requested. I included:
1. Proof of Residence via Lease and Bank Statements
2. Proof of Income/Finances at ~$40,000 USD in one savings account, plus an additional $8,000 USD in another checking account, both backed to the last 6-months. I also included paystubs from my current employer.
3. Employment Contract, Remote Work Agreement, Business Incorporation Documents, Taxes for 2024.
On all of them I provided a cover letter that explained what was included and for what purpose.
Applied May 29th. Received notice June 13th requesting further documents. Four out of the Five requested documents were already included in the initial application:
1. Proof of Location via a Utility Bill (I Included via Lease and Bank Statement)
2. Proof of Finances over $17,000 for the last 3-months (I included 6-months in previous application)
3. Employment Contract (Included in Last Application)
4. Business Portfolio w/ Description of Business Activities (This one was not included prior)
5. Remote Work Agreement (Included in the previous)
I'll keep you updated as to what happens next!
