Question About New I-864: Are W-2s Needed or Not?

[simple_male 1]

I read the new I-864 and found it simpler than the previous one. But I am little confused whether we need to submit W-2s with IRS tax transcripts or not:

From I-864 Instruction on Page 8, Item # 25 (Federal Income Tax Information):

If you provide a photocopy of your tax return(s), you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your return(s). Do not include copies of these Forms, if you provide an IRS transcript of your return(s) rather thana photocopy.

From I-864 Check List on page 11 (The following itemas myst be submitted with Form I-864:

For ALL Sponsors: A copy of your individual federal income tax return, including W-2s for the most recent tax return, or a statement and/or evidence describing why you were not required to file. Also incluse a copy of each and every Form 1099, schedule, and any other evidence or reported income......

Now the question: Do we need to submit W-2s with IRS transcripts or not?

Yes you have to submit both to NVC....

During my interview they asked me to submit the recent W-2s.

Bel & Er,

We also were confused, but decided to send it anyway. It shouldn't hurt if they have another page in the package.
