My Mom's interview is on October 23rd. I have a question regarding her documents.

The P4 letter has a list of docs, coded with the letters - this one is needed, that one is not, ect. Financial evidence, the letterr says, has already been provided.

But the letter, I received earlier, soon after the case was complete at NVC, said I had to submit tax returns and a couple of other papers, that are not mentioned as needed in P4 letter.

So, which information do I better trust? Or calling them may clarify that for me?

OK... after staying on the telephone with NVC for an hour, I was told, I have to follow the P-4 instructions and ignore what was sent earlier. So, there is no need to provide any financial evidence to the Embassy on Friday. Hopefully, that will be true.

We got from 221 today. I was told I have to provide my w-2s and my 1040 for 2014. Thank God, by email, and thank God, they kept my mom's passport, saying, the visa will be send within 10 days upon receiving the docs.

Despite of what the p4 letter said and despite we got confirmed we didn't have to provide those for the interview by the nvc supervisor over the phone. For some reason, the embassy did not receive my financial docs from the nvc, though I did submit them, they were all in the same AoS package.

Lesson to learn: bring EVERYTHING to the interview, whether you sent it to the nvc or not. The weight of an extra paper doesn't hurt as much as the disappointment after the interview.
