Preparing for the interview - question about documents to bring

[DeadFish 1]

The consulate we are going through - Taiwan -  requests among other things:

           -for each financial sponsor a photocopy of the sponsor’s IRS transcript or most recent U.S. federal income tax return.

 

My parents are my wife's financial sponsor. Does the consulate just want the signed AOS document and the latest tax return info... or are they going to need a copy of the entire package of AOS we submitted to the NVC which includes a ton of additional information to support the tax return ( stocks sold for loss, etc. that was quite thick. ) .  

Which seems redundant. 

 

Will they need my AOS  as the petitioner, even though I am not a financial sponsor. I understand that I need to provide proof of domicile, and relationship (photos, letters, etc.) , Your original marriage certificate and a photocopy. 

 

I am just concerned that I will need ask my parents to send the ENTIRE AOS package.

https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/iv-dv-supplemental/TAI - Taipei.pdf here is the country-specific NVC page that specifies everything your wife will need to bring to the interview. 

 

They won't need an I-864 from you, just from your parents. You might want to be on the safe side and send the most recent tax return and any documentation that supports it - but only for the most recent one. Also any relevant w2s. 

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks I have read that pdf and I have it, but that Taipei page is the reason for my concern.

It does not mention bringing any supporting documentation for the AOS, just the latest tax return.

 

So that is what I am going to bring, besides the other items as requested. 

 

When my parents gave me their private information I really did not want to know how much money parents actually make, I wrote our case # across the top of each page they gave me, I didnt make a photocopy of what they gave me. I just stuck it in the folder, and when I completed my AOS, etc.. I added it to the folder and sent it to the NVC. 

NVC - 11 weeks of nervous waiting, Says its good, and now we got our interview date. 

 

Now I need to ask my parents to resend the income tax info or preferably the IRS Transcript (latest).  Uhhhg! 

Understand my concern? 

My parents tax filing is massively complex - I already sent that to NVC. I really DONT want my wife to bring all of this to the interview if she doesn't have to.  By following exactly what they are saying on that document you showed a link to and I have read. 

 

It does not mention bringing any supporting documentation for the AOS - so that is what I am going to submit, besides the latest federal tax documents. W-2 dont apply they are retired.
