NVC AOS and Support Paperwork

[pollycranopolis 0]

I'm happy to report that my I-130 has been approved for my spouse living abroad (Qatar). I have a few questions in regard to the filing process for upcoming NVC paperwork.

1. Is it possible for me (petitioner) to complete all the remaining pre- interview paperwork on behalf of the beneficiary if I can obtain all the beneficiaries required documents and signatures? (AOS, D – paperwork, etc)
2. In regard to support paperwork: I've worked my current job since Feb 14' (less than a year, making substantially above required income levels.). However, I have NO income for the last reported tax year (2013) as I had returned to finish college while relying on savings. The previous two tax years (2012, 2011) I was just at the edge of income requirements. Based on this scenario, should I expect to seek out a joint sponsor, or rely on my current job situation (in good standing, less than a year, substantially above income requirements) to fulfill NVC’s expectations for support?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

1) Yes.

2) Should not be an issue. Provide proof and a written letter stating why you did not have to file last year.

Technically I DID file last year - It's just an extremely low amount (about $6,000). Will this have an effect? Also, is it advisable to JUST SEND official tax transcripts for 3 years, and NOT the official returns, W2's, etc? Some people have suggested they PREFER these transcripts.
