DTV Questions:

1) Applying as a freelancer - I am a life coach/ content creator and I own my own business (LLC). Does anyone have a successful experience applying for this visa as a coach? What would you use for your portfolio?

Hope everyone is having an amazing day/night! I have a question about the DTV. I want to apply via workcation. The thing is I’m self employed via my LLC. How do I offer proof of employment? I have the dollar amount in my bank account and I’m ready for the move lol any help is appreciated!

Can anyone who wrote the employment contract for themselves as the employer and employee of their own LLC let me know what they included? Any pointers? Planning on going to Taiwan.

Just got DTV approved!

USA-based. Washington DC embassy. Single-member LLC. Contract video editor.

Applied: August 15

Documentation requested: September 4

I forgot to include a letter stating my name, job description, digital nomad/remote, length of employment. I will attach pic of the template I used. I also included how I do my work remotely.

Approved: September 5

Funds:

- The full $16k wasn’t in my bank account until the beginning of August so I didn’t have an official bank statement showing the balance. I went to my bank and got a Letter of Standing showing my balance. I also supplied screenshots of the last month of my bank account (nothing redacted).

- I sent copies of a couple invoices, the invoice receipt after being paid, screenshots of my business bank account showing the payment being deposited (highlighted), as well as, highlighted deposits from my personal banking showing the transfer of payment from my business account to my personal.

Proof of Work:

Sent in my resume, screenshots of emails from clients stating the nature of my work (for clients I didn’t have contracts with), contracts from other clients, and screenshots of my portfolio:

Additional documents:

- I started my own business in April so I provided screenshots of an email between me and a client where I stated I was switching from my personal email to my work email.

- Certification of Formation

- Official document that contained my EIN

Further requested documentation:

- In the letter I stated my name, my job title, the scope of work I do, how I perform my work digitally, as well as stating that I was a business owner and referred them to the page in my original document submission that showed proof of ownership of my company.

I’m attaching the template I used for the letter of proof of work. I did not use the bottom part stating my current clients though.

I’m applying for my husband and daughter’s dependent visa tomorrow. Will let you all know how that goes!

Thanks to everyone here who answered all my questions in the process! Happy to answer any questions if I left anything out! 🙂

Just got approved for the DTV out of Washington D.C. For anyone that has their own LLC, I submitted the articles of incorporation and my partnership agreement as proof of documents for employment.
