I-864 Again??

[SuperW 0]

Hi... I am here on a K-1, and filed my AOS application in June 2009. We spent painstaking time and detail submitting a thorough packet of documents and evidence (most notably on the I-864 for my husband and co-sponsor). Fast forwarding to today, we have received notice that my/our AOS interview is in about two weeks. There is a checklist on the notice of what to bring, one of which states:

- A completed Affidavit(s) of Support (Form I-864) with all required evidence, including the following, for each of your sponsors (unless already submitted):

- Federal Income Tax returns and W-2;s, or certified IRS printouts, for the most recent tax year;

- Letters from each current employer, verifying current rate of pay and average weekly hours, and pay stubs for the past 2 months;

- Evidence of your sponsor's and/or co-sponsors United States Citizenship or Lawful Permanent Resident status.

In my case, all of these things were submitted last June, and the only difference now is that 2009 has ended, making it the most recent tax year. Thus, I'm assuming we'll need our 2009 tax returns, along with more recent pay stubs. What I'm wondering is this... Do we have to fill out and prepare the actual I-864 forms themselves all over again, this time with tax info from 2007, 2008, and 2009 (the ones we sent last June had 2006, 2007, and 2008 tax info)? OR, can we safely assume they already have most of this information since we already sent it in, and just bring our 2009 tax returns and more recent financial info? The checklist says "unless already submitted," but it's unclear whether that's referring to I-864 with the original information/evidence (which we already sent), or simply referring to our most recent 2009 info, if that makes sense. (If that last line is confusing, just ignore and focus on the italicized portion).

P.S. This is kind of just a side question to the above, but do we also have to have updated letters of employment if nothing has changed since we first submitted the packet?

What you're planning to bring 2009 tax stuff and maybe some recent pay stubs is good, but I wouldn't think that you would need a whole new thing (or a whole new medical, etc) unless something major had changed. At least...that's what we are doing. I read the unless already submitted the same way you seem to be.
