Savings Account Issue

My wife (USC and petitioner) and I filed US taxes for 2018 while living and working abroad. We forgot to add the ‘income’ received from our savings account (a joint bank account in Pakistan) to the tax return. 
 

Now I have my immigrant visa interview coming up and wanted to show commingling of finances via this joint account as proof of our relationship. However, I feel if I show them that we have a savings account but its income is not reflected in the tax transcript, this will create an issue and they would want us to amend the tax return and re-upload, hence delaying the visa approval. 
 

Will this be an issue? What do you guys think I should do?

Non-issue.......the people at the consulate are not IRS auditors.......

The embassy guy interviewing you is not the IRS reviewing that your tax return is correct. Different departments of a very large government...State Department and Treasury Department.. Your interviewer probably pays somebody to do his taxes and has no clue if yours are correct.  Seeing that you filed jointly or your wife filed as married is all he might be interested in
