Is the DS-5540 required for CR1/IR1 interviews?  I am not seeing this doc listed in the different procedural docs and howtos for the interview phase of the VISA process.

From what I have read on this forum, it will be asked for in the interviews. You can google it to find it.

You can also find it under "Additional Documentation" in the DS260 form dropbox, if you haven't filled it out. It was made available there for filers after Feb 24.

They "may or may not" ask - love how the instructions are written.

 

I'm also wondering - most of the pages will be blank (no taxes filed, no income. My hubby was a student and the economy in his country is at the bottom). We're filing taxes jointly for 2019, but with my income only. I do make way above the poverty line though. Are there any reports from folks interviewing since Feb 24 where this was an issue?

I'm in a similar situation to you.  My wife lives in Uganda, which is mostly a cash economy.  Very little in the way of a paper trail for showing income.  I've been supporting her 100% for the going on 2 years and have the documentation of all the money I've sent her.  I make well above what is required.   We are filing married joint for 2019 tax return.


She really doesn't have much to put down on the DS-5540.  She does have a Bachelor degree in business administration, but Im not seeing anything except confirming a HS education.

 

I guess when we get closer to the interview I'll have her fill it out.
