I'm not an expert on the visa you're applying for, though I am familiar with it. I would say that your evidence of a relationship could use a little extra. Pictures and whatsapp logs aren't classed as hard evidence. Do you have plane tickets and boarding passes?

If you have IRS Tax Transcript, then you did not need to send the tax returns

 

Are you filing Form I-864A? if not you can ignore Bonafide Relationship for NVC. Also, you already provided in the first stage at USCIS

 

If you are not using any joint sponsors, then you can ignore the Proof of US Status too

 

Marriage certificate need to be at the supporting documents

I hope this helps

Hey, Thanks for your response.  Would it hurt to send Tax returns and W2 along with Tax transcripts? Because nowhere in the checklist they would mention they need either or.

If you want you can send the tax returns with it. W2 need to send it anyway

How many years back do we have to send? Is 1 year good or 3 years is mandatory?

your recent one year is fine, but 3 years will be good to show you are capable to support your beneficary if you can

This will answer your question

If you cannot obtain an IRS tax transcript: If you are unable to obtain an IRS tax transcript, submit a photocopy of your IRS Federal Income Tax Returns and Form(s) W-2 or schedule(s) from the most recent tax year. from https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/collect-and-submit-forms-and-documents-to-the-nvc/step-4-collect-financial-documents.html

 

So according to the website, if you have IRS Tax transcript, then you did not need W2.

Thank you for posting this. The proof of a bona fide relationship on the NVC level is still rather unclear to me...

 

Are you all preparing the same bona fide proof of relationship again as for the i-130 petition? And if so, does the petitioner or the beneficiary provide them?

 

I thought, I would have to bring those documents to the interview.

Proof of a bona fide relationship on the NVC level is different from the bona fide proof of relationship at I-130 Petition at USCIS

 

At NVC, you only need to provide proof of relationship if you have co sponsor who are household member and filing form I-864A, then that household member and you need to proof your relationship each other.

If you are the only sponsor to your beneficiary then you can ignore this step

 

For the interview, yes bring all the proof because the officer might ask
