You only need:

1. IRS transcripts OR

2. W2s + tax return

 

Not all.

NOA1 and NOA2

You only need the NOA2 copy. Make sure you don’t send the original

Certified copy of marriage certificate

This is personal preference but just as an fyi regular photocopy is fine too

Affidavit of Support

• Form I-864 filled out and signed
• Tax Return 2021
• Tax Return 2022
• Tax Return 2023 (Not sure if I'll be able to get this paperwork in time because I need an accountant this year)
• Pay stubs for six months
• W2 for 2021, 2022, and 2023
• Income statement signed by my boss
• Us Sponsor's Passport Bio Page

 

Do you not have transcripts? They’re much easier to read for USCIS and less pages. That would also eliminate the need for W2s. 
 

You’re only required to send the most recent tax return, we only sent the most recent one. It’s up to you of course but if you have entire tax returns that’s gonna be a lot of paperwork 

 

I wouldn’t delay filing just because you’re waiting for 2023 tax returns. It’s not required until after April 15

There’s no need for NOA1. Include NOA2 for I-765 too 

 

This is personal preference but I included a photocopy of a marriage certificate as a precaution because I changed my name and I wanted USCIS to see that because you never know with them
