By filing the I-130 alone you did not start the AOS process at all, or gain any time, or gain any protection in any way. Your AOS clock will start when you file the I-485. Include a copy of the NOA1

You can walk into an IRS office and get a tax transcript...or at least you could, when I did it in 2010.

You cannot promise to bring tax documents on interview day. If you send in the I-485 without the I-864, you will be sent a RFE which will have a time limit on it. If you can't get the documents by that time limit the I-485 is denied.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

All I am waiting for is the Itin number W-7 for my wife then I file. They said it will take 6 weeks but am planning for 10 which puts us before the date my wife has to leave of Jan 20, 2014. They say it takes 3-4 months to process the return but I can just send in copies of what I filed and take the transcripts and copies to the interview maybe I will be ok. I guess the RFE will tell..

I guess we all make mistakes and I have made mine in this process.

Why don't you file married filing separately for now, then amend tax returns with wife's info later?

Then I would owe taxes and then would have to deal with getting them back after I paid them. More simple to wait for the W-7. When we lived in Panama we could have applied for her W-7 a few years back but it meant sending her passport in and waiting 60-90 days to get it back which we did not want to do from a foreign country. Doing the returns I knew I owed no taxes and thought I would wait until I returned to reside back in the US which I have done as of a few months ago. I will probably have to pay a late filing penalty.

nah, if the IRS owes you money, there is no late filing penalty, for 3 years.

I could, of course, be wrong, but

the IRS gave us nice 'extra' monies for interest.
