Missing W2's for I-864

[KellyandNino 0]

Hey everyone,

So we need to send our packet off soon and I noticed that the I-864 asks for W2s. I was under the impression I could just use my tax transcripts from the past 3 years like I did for the previous affidavit of support for the K1 visa application.

I guess I was wrong.

Has anyone on a K1 Visa, applying for their AOS, used simply tax transcripts and avoided an RFE? I can get the last 3 years tax transcripts from the IRS, letter from my job, last few pay stubs, etc. But it's just the W2 that will be a pain to get.

Thanks in advance for the advice. :-)

I just read the intrustions and under section 25 it reads that you can provide tax transcripts. Only if you provide tax returns will you have to provide W-2s

It also states do not provide copies of W-2's if you provide tax transcripts...

Ahh, I feel very silly...sorry to have missed that. I didn't read that section completely. I skimmed down to the checklist and that is when I became worried. Leave it to the US govt to have conflicting info on an important document. The checklist indicates you need to submit W2's, but the more in-depth info (section 25) suggests otherwise.

Thanks again for pointing it out.
