And another query as we prepare: just to confirm, the consulate could technically ask for an original of any of the many documents we submitted with the NVC application, correct? I would assume that there are some (such as our passports) that they would in practice not ask for? Does anyone happen to have any thoughts on the sort of documents that consulates most want to see originals for? We have originals of everything, but there are privacy/fear of loss/security issues, etc. in sending some overseas, thus the query. Obviously my parents-in-law will have originals of everything on their end. Thanks to all who reply!

Thanks, very helpful! Now I forget--do they prefer transcripts over returns? Or is either fine to attach for 2021 and 2022?

My parents-in-law finally have another green card interview scheduled at the consulate. For those of you who have seen my posts, it has been a long three years, but hopefully they are almost there. Two quick queries as we prepare for their interview: 1. We just noticed that the NVC had asked for 2021 taxes prior to their initial (but later canceled) interview date last fall. Somehow we missed this and did not upload the taxes (for the I-864s we had used our 2020 taxes). I assume the thing to do is to upload both 2021 and 2022 now (since another year has passed) into the NVC system? 2. Both my wife and I recently finished grad school and now have much higher paying jobs than our old ones (our combined I-864/I-864A in 2021 had our household income only about $10,000 more than what was necessary for sponsorship). After reading forum posts, it sounds like the thing to do is to have them bring our employment verification/salary letters as well as paystubs to the interview (as well as our deed for our house)? Thank you very much in advance to any and all help! (thought I posted this last night, but don't see it in my content; mods feel free to delete one of these if I did in fact post this somewhere)

Ok! After waiting almost a year to reschedule my parents-in-law consular processing green card interviews, they have a new interview date. (2022 interview had to be canceled due to covid) Here's to hoping this will be a good end to 3+ years of trying for their green card. A couple of questions for now (I am sure there will be more): 1. We just saw that last year, prior to when their first green card interview was supposed to be, NVC sent a request for our 2021 taxes. (we filed 2020 taxes with the I-864/I-864A) Somehow we missed that message and so never sent the 2021 taxes in the NVC system. We are thus planning to upload both 2021 and 2022 into the NVC system prior to the interview. Does that make sense to everyone? I wouldn't think the delay would be an issue? 2. Both my wife and I finished grad school in the last year and now make significantly more than we did when we filed the I-864/I-864A way back in 2021. From reading through forum posts, it sounds like the best thing to do is to get employment verification letters, two paystubs for both of us, and write a brief letter of explanation, and have my parents-in-law take it with them just in case they want to see more financial ability on our end (we were perhaps $10,000 over the minimum when we filed the I-864s). Is that right? Thanks as always for any and all responses/help!
