About two weeks ago we found out our application was approved!  (:  As I prepare the I-134, I am wondering if copies of my W-2's from last year are required at the interview for my fiance? I will have the tax returns from the last three years, but I do not have my W-2's from last year.  Thanks.

Tax transcripts will suffice. Congratulations on the approval!

AWESOME!! Thank you! Any idea how long before we have our new case number and she can request the interview? Does she call the embassy to request the interview?  The application was approved on 10/15/2018.

I believe the time frame is 8 weeks. You can call NVC 30 days from when you received your NOA2. They might have assigned a case number by that time. 

 

Does she call the embassy to request the interview? - This can be easily done online once you have your case number.

Case numbers from NVC are around 2-3 weeks, from the time you get NOA-2 approved. Follow instructions on your embassy website. They have a guide what to do next.

I have heard that my tax transcripts must have a signature on them but I file them electronically so there is no signature. Is this a problem?

I posted this in another thread that was asking similar questions. 

 

Here is a link to an instruction document on how to fill out the I-134. 

 

https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-134instr.pdf?download=1

 

It lists out exactly what documents need to be provided in the section titled "Supporting Evidence"

 

A tax return is not required unless you are self employed.  

 

Of course, it doesn't hurt to provide more than what is required but it's a little misleading and can be stressful/nerve-wracking for applicants if they go in with the impression that they are required to have all these documents when in reality they actually don't (multiple years of tax returns, W-2, pay stubs, etc.) 

 

I personally, provided extra information that wasn't necessary just in case as most of that extra info was easily accessible for me.  

 

It's all up to you on what you think is sufficient. If you do decide to include additional items I would limit them to the latest available year. For a tax return, one year is good enough. For pay stubs, I'd say the latest 4 or 5 is fine.
