Tax Transcript sufficient for K1 interview?

[Dome 24]

Is the tax transcript sufficient for the K1 interview, or is anything else needed like a 1040 or W2?

Tax transcripts are the best choice.

Transcript is all encompassing and consists of all the information contained on the 1040 and w2

Tax transcripts over everything

I would assume as much. But each country is different and has different requirements.

Some tax transcripts are not available as of late for 2019.  Due to COVID

 

I filed my taxes on July 11 and they cashed my check a few days later, as of today there is still no tax transcript available.

 

I called the IRS and they told me since I filed by mail it wasn't input into their system and could be another month until I can get a transcript from the IRS online......

Tax Transcripts are the best , they are the official on record documents at the IRS. Tax forms can be cheated to look better than you actually filed 🙂

I was unaware of tax transcripts until now  So I went to look at mine and my name on the transcript is abbreviated, as well as the home address. Basically the first 4 letters of each are visible. SSN is also mostly hidden. Is this acceptable to the consulates?

Yes, mine was like that also. It was fine.

This is what most embassies will use. Some use it all and some don't use any of it at all. "your mileage may vary" 

 

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: You must submit any evidence which will show that you and members of your family who will accompany you are not likely to become public charges while in the United States. Visa petitioner (US Citizen) will have to complete form I-134. If the petitioner does not qualify as a sponsor, a Joint-Sponsor should present (any US Citizen living in the US or Legal Permanent Resident), who will also have to complete form I-134. Both the Sponsor (Petitioner) as well as the Joint-Sponsor, will have to present last year's income tax return transcripts. W2 form and proof of current and sustainable income (e.g., letter of employment on letterhead including salary and start date, most recent salary receipts, bank accounts, the value of properties, etc.). You may download the I-134 affidavit at https://www.uscis.gov/i-134. Bank statements in place of a letter from the bank will work just fine. Print the statement that shows the opening balance for a month and the closing balance for that month. Do that for 12 months—no need to print off all pages of a bank statement.

There are several types of tax transcripts.  Make sure you have the "tax return transcript".
