all the language is "may" ...  So its up to the consular officer reviewing all the info at the interview and whether or not they ask for it?  thanks!  so its not required or?

correct. People still get DQ at NVC without it, and it's up to the officers discretion if they want to see it.

Thanks I see...  My wife has her name on 1 of our 5 properties in the US and we have quite a large amount of cash in a mutually held bank account to move back with.  She's working now as well but possibly won't be by the time of the interview (depending on when/and if things are stable/open enough to even move to the US by then) but she will be resigning before we move.  (We are both out of country now).  Just wondering how much effort we really need to go into preparing this and the supporting documents (I plan to have all property deeds and a few months of bank statements)...
