AOS for interview that will be near change of year

[cocina 0]

We are anticipating an interview for an IR visa near the end of this year or perhaps in Jan 2013 (DCF). I've been getting the AOS ready and the form for my mother in law who will be a contributing member of household because on my own I don't make enough. According to these docs, the last year of tax returns etc is 2011 and we are putting in data for 2012. If our interview is in Jan, will we have to start over?? (As in, they will want 2013 data and tax info starting in 2012?) We would not even have W-2's by then? I want to be ready for the interview, but don't want to have to start from scratch if our interview is in Jan. Thanks!

If you have your 2011 W-2s by then you can take them with you to the interview, but they didn't ask us for anything more recent than what we had already sent them (we sent info mid 2011 and had interview Jan 30 2012)

It turned out better for me to wait and file taxes after my husband arrived. Even though he had no income to add we still filed married joint and got a little more back. Since his interview was in Jan we had plenty of time to get his SSN, etc before the deadline.
