Will I get delay for sending n/a docs for AOS?

Thanks all for the replies. Yes I sent the tax transcript for the recent tax year 2014 and sent the same year w2. According to a NVC representative, the w2 will be disregarded since I sent the necessary transcript. I hope that is the case. All I ever wanted was to avoid a checklist. That got me so emotional I made a stupid mistake. I wish I had not sent it but I just have to wait and see and face the consequences.

That's what I figured....good news.

Hi All, I am going through the post package submission anxiety phase and I think I have found a grave mistake. Please advise.

I read through the instructions for I-864 EZ and at the end there is a section titled Checklist. This part confused me. It stated that everyone needs to provide tax returns and w2's. I was able to get a tax transcript from the IRS online and send that instead of the returns so I didn't think I needed to send the w2's. After reading this dreaded checklist section I decided to send a copy of my w2 for the recent tax year just in case. Low and behold, after mailing that in I reread the instructions and it explicitly states NOT to send in the w2 if you are using the tax transcripts. Sigh. Did I just cost myself some delays for that? What can I expect now? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I for one didn't realize until you added this that you had sent the 14 transcript. NLR is correct.

I was sending that W2 as a last minute impulse to ensure the needed tax information was given. Its painfully stupid that I read the instructions so carefully the first time and completed everything to the letter and second guessed myself for no reason when it came down to the final once over. I can tell you its an easy mistake to make when all the rules start overlapping and you break one trying to follow another, so I don't blame anyone for getting confused.

I also thought that perhaps the w2 could lend some evidence of my employment considering it does verify that I have a job, but a letter of employment or pay stubs is not a necessity for the I-864 EZ. I also asked the NVC representative if that was needed, and it isn't. I would encourage anyone who feels lost on the technicalities of these government requirements to contact the NVC for clarification, and to avoid taking the news too hard if it does turn out to be bad news. Its only an obstacle on the way to a better life.
