1R-1/CR-1 2018 W2 and tax returns

[visavisa1 0]

Hi, 

if anyone has been to an interview at the Ghana US embassy this month, was your spouse or fiancé asked for their petitioner's 2018 W2 forms or 2018 tax returns? These documents are not available yet since its not the end of January? Please let me know your experience for those who have attended an interview this January. Thank you.

I hope they are not being stubborn about 2018 because my boy is going for his Diversity Lottery interview on February 9th and the affidavit of support we provided only included 2017.

2018 taxes are not due until April 15.  If your interview is after April 15 you should present the 2018 tax return or you extension letter.  If you interview is before April 15, the latest tax return is 2017.  They can't make you present a 2018 tax return when you haven't  received the W2 yet.

Hello all

I have my interview on May 3rd, my joint sponsors filed for a 2018 tax extension, so I will present the extension letter together with the IRS transcript for 2017, plus 1040, 1099 and W2 (although in the instructions say that if we provide the IRS transcript, this forms are not needed).. Do you think this documents are enough for the embassy interview?
