Updating Work-related Documents

[rodianhobo 0]

My wife will have her IR-1 interview on March 8!  When we filed all of our documents with the NVC almost a year ago I was living and working in Vietnam, and naturally the documentation reflects this.  Since that time I have moved back to the US (my plane ticket was part of my proof of intention to establish domicile) and have a job here.  

 

I have seen some people update their documents on CEAC, and I was wondering if I need to update my job records (proof of employment/salary/etc.). I am currently filing my 2022 taxes, but will not have them done by the time my wife's interview takes place.  An agent at Boundless told me I didn't need to update anything, but they've given me a lot of bad information in the past.

If an interview has been scheduled, I would just take updated financial documents to said interview.

to add to this

Since a year and your move to US the  financial documents have changed

i would do a new I 864,  your taxes ( 1040)and send all with a W2 to your spouse since the IRS transcripts won't be available in time

 

and do it fast March 8th is soon

Thanks for the information!  Should I file the new I-864 and submit the tax stuff on CEAC, or can my wife just take hard copies?

If the interview date is set definitely send her with a new hard copy of a new I864 and send it along with your 2021 tax return (all attachments) and current proof of income (paystubs, bank statements, last year’s W2.  
If your 2021 return isn’t ready I’d send last year’s W2 and current proof of income.

Previous year’s tax return (2020 full return or transcript) is required with the affidavit anyway.

Could you tell me please how long between when you got documentary qualified and your interview scheduled? I looked at your timeline and not sure it’s revealed there. I was DQ on December 16 ‘21.

Thanks to everyone for the fantastic information!  I just have one last question.  When we filed with the NVC my brother was used as a joint sponsor.  Do we need to provide updated financial documentation for him as well?  Nothing about his financial situation or location has changed in the past year

No, but if you qualify on your own now, you can ask that the joint sponsor be removed from the file.
