AOS and Transcripts for IR1/CR1 interview

[MrSayed 5]

Hey experts I see conflicting information about I-864 AOS form and Tax Transcripts document requirements in the interview. 

 

Almost everyone on VJ says. these are required at the Visa interview, where as the state dept site says the below in bold.

Has there been any incidents where they placed the application in Administrative processing for lack of I-864 and Transcripts during interview?

 

Any help is appreciated.

I-864 with most recent tax documents are required at interview, you have to submit it at entrance before being interviewed. I don't think they let you proceed without it.

I would check the actual requirement sheet if provided by the particular consulate.  In my wife's case, the Taiwan consulate list specifically required the I-864 and tax documents.

First, it would never hurt anything to bring an updated I-864 and updated supporting documents to the interview.  It has long been best practice to do so.  Particularly now, with such long delays between AOS submission and the actual interview.  If nothing has changed, bringing a wet signed I-864 and a more recent pay stub is best.  If another tax return has been filed, update and bring that too.  If not asked for it, no harm done.  If asked for an not provided, expect at least a month delay in visa issue.

This is what we did.  Particularly since it was over a year until we had our interview, so there was lots to update.

I Global Expressed a new I-864 with a wet signature to Taiwan just to make sure......as you said, "..it would never hurt..."
