Changes since submitting DS-260, I-864

At the time we submitted Form DS-260 we had plans of establishing in a specific city and state. However, since then I have worked in a different city and state. It's been almost a year since we have gotten DQ. My question is do we have to fill out another DS-260 and I-864 because of this and have my spouse take it to the interview with them or will this cause huge problems? I assume the Immigration Officer will be provided with the previous information from the DS-260 and I-864 from last year and we are worried that when my spouse begins to mention the changes that has happened since then that our case may be refused. Can anyone please advise on this situation? The reason for all of this is because the time between DQ and the Interview has been so long that things have changed.

Making life changes is not a problem.  Once you have an interview date, complete and upload a new financial package with new I-864 and supporting documents.  Your spouse can then give an updated address.  No need to do a new DS 260.

Would it be okay for my spouse to take the new updated Forms to the Interview while not uploading them to CEAC. The reason why is because CEAC shows that those previous forms/documents have been submitted and/or accepted. Or would this be an issue to have a certain document on CEAC to have been submitted/accepted and to present a different set of forms/documents at the interview? Thanks in advance.

I gave you my advice already.  If I thought it would be an issue, I would have given different advice.  If you don't upload before the interview, you'll delay the visa issue.  Give a new address at the interview is just fine.

Do you think it would be fine just to take the I-864, Tax Returns, and W-2 that were uploaded rather than provide newer ones?

Just take an up to date pay stub from the joint sponsor.  Do you really still need a joint sponsor?

We thank you greatly for your invaluable advice and guidance. Is it necessary for the updated documentation that I will upload tomorrow to "Additional Supporting Documents" in the CEAC under the Affidavit of Support Section gets "Approved" before the Interview?

 

Thanks again. You've been remarkably helpful.

I said upload only AFTER you have the interview appointment.  Below was my first answer.

 

Once you have an interview date, complete and upload a new financial package with new I-864 and supporting documents.  Your spouse can then give an updated address.  No need to do a new DS 260.

Thank you and sorry for misreading your reply. Looking forward, upon arrival to the USA will my spouse be interviewed again at the Airport or are there any other routine standard procedures that need to be conducted there that we need to be prepare for beforehand? Any documents that we need to have with us upon Arrival to the USA?

Yes, your spouse will be questioned upon entry.  Bring all documents in carry-on luggage.  Why would one leave anything like that behind.  The questions will be answered from memory and knowledge.  No worries.
