The instructions on the I-864 mention this:

 

Quote

You may include evidence supporting your claim about your expected income for the current year if you believe that submitting this evidence will help you establish ability to maintain sufficient income. You are not required to submit this evidence, however, unless specifically instructed to do so by a U.S. Government official. For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer’s address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stubs showing your income for the previous six months.

You are misunderstanding the requirements.  Current annual income is the most important factor for determining sponsor qualification..  CURRENT annual income is calculated by current pay period gross income x number of pay periods in a year.   Past W2s reflect what was reported to the IRS....not what the sponsor CURRENTLY earns.

Thanks for your response , The US embassy will ask for the recent Tax return and W2 that already showed my wife didn't reach the minimum income and this way will lead us to wait to fill the new tax and get a new W2 showed the new income which it will be only on 2022 next year.

That is not how it works.  US embassy will need to know about CURRENT income, as proved by employment letter and/or paystubs.  If they have a concern, when they factor in that she did not meet requirements the previous years, they will tell you that you need a joint sponsor.

 

They do not tell you to wait until you get next year's tax return transcript.

As you can see in this embassy worksheet they're asking for the tax return and W2

Yes.  That is always required.  I-864 requires at least 1 year of tax returns, 3 years as an option.  It is just one of several routine documents you need to provide.

 

Their decision is based on CURRENT income.. Previous year's tax return is evidence of having stable income.  When things change, like a promotion or a new job, paystubs and employment letter can suffice as evidence of current income.

 

I would cross out any personal information on any documents you upload here on VJ.. This is an open forum visible to anyone.who wants to see/read.

I don't see any of the documents checked on that list. How do you know that is what they are asking for? Regardless, read the posts by @SteveInBostonI130, as they are correct.

 

Please cross out the name on that image you posted.

 

Also, please update your timeline as that will help people to know how to answer your questions. You are showing us a document that came from the US Embassy (and that is usually issued after the interview), but according to your timeline the I-130 has not been approved by USCIS yet.

Ok then you think that my wife don't need to use a joint sponsor and go ahead to submit her Tax transcript of 2020/2019 and old w2s , letter from her employer with the new projected earning and some pay stubs ?

What makes you think they are asking for anything?  The form you posted only says your case is in administrative processing.
