You will need new I-864s, with new tax return transcripts and new documentation of income.

Generally the consulate will request new I864 with up to date tax transcripts if you do not upload it to CEAC or bring it to the interview.

Yes, and the issue is not the expiration of the form.  It's that the information ON the form and the supporting evidence provided is not up to date.

Yes, but the issue is not the expired form.  It's the old information ON the form.

Obviously that’s what I meant. Since it’s been a while, the information might changed. Sorry English it’s not my first language.

Do we know the form has expired have they created new I864 forms with new expiration date since 2021? 
or are you misunderstanding OP’s language and they are saying the information “expired”?

IMO, it doesn't matter what the OP is saying.  What matters is what to do now.  The information isn't expired.  It's more than two years old.  Even if the form did not expire, an updated form and updated evidence will be needed to have the visa approved.

 

Consular Officers need up to date information to make decisions.  Sometimes, it's good enough to just bring a new pay stub and latest tax return.  Best to update everything though.  Either way, the expiration date of the form is NOT the issue.

 

But, the current form was created in December, 2021 expiring in December 2023.  Not the issue here though.

The current form is still December 2021. So, don’t worry when you complete a new I864. It will be the same form, but with 2022 tax information and 2023 income information.

Yes, just to be clear the new form was created in December 2021, and is still current.  Anything submitted BEFORE December 2021 would have been NOT today's current version.  Still, the information is the issue, not any expiration date on the form.
