I just mailed my 2018 tax return today. Based on my 2017 income I don't make enough to be the only sponsor.

For submitting the i-864, do I need to wait till the tax return is accepted by the IRS? Or, I can just submit it with my signed 1040 and 2018 W2? Or, do I have to wait till the tax transcript becomes available?

Hopefully, someone expert has the answer.

Thanks in advance.

You qualify based on current income.  For an "employee" that comes from a current pay stub.  Neither 2018 or 2017 is "current".

His 2018 income is above poverty guidelines and his 2017 is under, they sent us feedback that consulate wil decide on the interview day they said to avoid delays get a joint sponsor.

If the current income is well over the minimum (again, pay stub, not tax return) then I wouldn't worry about it.  You keep mentioning tax returns.  They want that information but if he lost his job tomorrow, nothing else would matter.

We hve a reminder on interview letter and im not sure if i need to bring 2018 transcript bcoz thts his most recent income we put on aos form but he didnt file it yet.

He could not put 2018 as the most recent income unless he filed the tax return.  The section of the form for 2018 income is the tax return section.  2018 is not "current".  Current income comes from a pay stub.  Either way, YES, take the 2018 tax return transcript to the interview.  It should be filed by now.
