W-2

My fiancé is going to the Manila embassy soon for her interview. I already gave her my tax returns from the IRS for the past three years. Do I need to get her a copy of my W-2’s as well? That sounds redundant. Shouldn’t that information already be provided in the tax returns?

 Seems to me you already provided plenty in that area.

I think you're suppose to provide recent pay stubs too, to show your income/job is current. If you do that, then the W-2 wouldn't be necessary I wouldn't think.

For what it's worth, last year in the Philippines my wife was not asked for pay stubs at her interview. However she did have in her possession my most recent tax return but was not asked to show it. 

 

We had her bring a collapsible file folder with everything available at her fingertips just in case an unexpected request came up. The only thing they asked for was visa photos versus passport style photos. Which she had 2 extra sets of each on hand. Visa size is slightly different than passport size and they wanted 4 of them. 

 

Just take an extra copy of everything you have just in case. It doesn't cost that much to bring extra copies and can save a lot of headaches if by chance they ask for something at the interview.
