US Immigration from Philippines

Hi!

Two questions:
1) For the CR1 Interview, my Retired Joint Sponsor only has Tax Transcripts from 2022-2024 for my beneficiary. Would that be sufficient? Or is she required to send the Interviewers W2s and 1099s as well?

My Joint Sponsor has been retired since 2007, and she has never seen a 1099 or 1099-R before. At least she doesn't recognize them. What can we do?

2) Also, since I'm an independent contractor, should I write a letter to the Interviewer saying I only receive 1099-NEC and I do not receive W2s?

Thanks!

My wife really wants her parents to come to the US on a B2 visa from the Philippines, so she found some local agencies there that claim to help people get their B2 visa with preparing them for the interview.

I already filled out all the paperwork and booked them OFC/Consulate appointments, but I'm skeptical if using an agency is even worth it at this point.

Few notes:

1. My father-in-law has one complication that in the 1980s, his employer filed his Taiwan immigration paperwork incorrectly and all of the workers got arrested sent back to the Philippines from Taiwan. Not sure if this is considered a deportation, since they never went in front of a judge and no further action was taken, but I noted/explained this situation in his DS-160 and I imagine he will get asked about it during the interview.
2. They don't have great financial means, which I know is always a challenge. I'm going to provide an invitation letter and confirmation of funding their trip, in case the interviewer wants evidence.
3. For ties to the Philippines, I was going to recommend them bring their land titles, picture of their house, motorcycle title, and evidence of taking care of our niece and my grandparents-in-law.
4. For visiting the US, I was going to tell them to talk about visiting my wife and I, but also suggest different touristy things we could do/

My wife s passport has expired and she s a legal green card holder. We never updated her passport from single to married when she got here. How do we update this in a simple way if there s a simple way dealing with immigration haha

Unconfirmed reports claim USCIS office employees coordinate with ICE on-site for arrests during routine immigration interviews.
This gets more attention following a recent series of apprehensions in San Diego during Green Card interviews.
