Hey @Greenbaum. 
I have the interview in Naples next week. In their instructions it says to bring IRS Tax Transcripts and the supporting evidence listed with the I-134 instructions. 
My fiance has filed his taxes one month ago, but his transcripts are still unavailable - and according to IRS will be until June (June is when our petition expires). Up until 2018, the tax returns or transcripts were not needed at the interview. 
My question is, can we bring his 2018 tax return instead and explain that the transcripts are not available? 
Moreover, he was employed in Japan all of 2018, so I know that technically his tax return doesn't really matter because it does not show employment in the USA. He is now employed in the USA and we have the employment letter and contract to prove it. We also have his father as co-sponsor. Both his job in Japan and his current job are above the 125% poverty line. 

Working in another country doesn't exempt him filing US taxes. Go with what you have and use the 1040 instead of the tax transcripts.  Employment letter is very strong evidence be sure to include it.

Yes, he worked in Japan for 2 years and filed both times. 
We have his contract, paycheck, employment letter stating that it is a permanent position in the US/income/date the contract started, and a letter written by my fiance simply explaining why he came back to the USA sooner - in our original petition his Japanese contract was supposed to end in July, but he ended it sooner so that he could start working in the US in April and settle before I get there. 
Do you think we could get denied because we do not have the transcripts and only the returns? 
I am really paranoid. I hope that if they absolutely need the transcripts, they will put us in AP and wait for them to be available.

No. You might be delayed until you can produce TT. But i doubt it will be a problem.  Relax.

My fiance is coming to US tomorrow. I am flying to New York to meet her there. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can read about what to expect at POE and specially in NY. What questions they will ask her and what will they have her do. Go through her stuff, look at the documents, take picture, etc. Her english is not so good so I am trying to prepare her as much as I can. I will be waiting for her when she arrives. Will I be able to help if she will need a translation or can I even see her or come close to her when she will be asked? Any info will be helpful. Thank you guys and I am so exited.

My Neil and I were married today in a beautiful ceremony! Thank you to everyone here for your help and support. We would have been truly at a loss without you during this complicated and confusing process. AOS is next, so we'll be hanging out in that forum but, for now, we celebrate!

Hello guys I’m ready to schedule the VAC and the embassy interview. I’m able to pick the VAC appointment but the consulate interview said there is no available appointment and I’m not able to pick a day or complete the process. Does anybody know the issue? 

 

Thanks

The issue is each embassy has a certain amount of slots for interviews. They open the "monthly" schedule when the previous month is full but not necessary right away. Your embassy is no exception. You have to wait and keep checking for open interview slots. Keep in mind that the visa has a validity of 6 months and it is based on the medical date. So if you do your medical now and you don't interview for another 3-4 months then you have burned through some valuable validity time. So buyer beware.

 Thank you Greenbaum. I’m planing the medical by the end of June and the interview for July. Do You know if the monthly schedule is when a new month start or they open interview everyday? Do you recommend to keep checking everyday or every week?
