I guess it depends which advice you’d like to take I had my now-husband send me tax return transcripts, paystubs and an employment letter. I prefer to have something and it not be asked for rather than them requesting something at the interview and me not having it, which would cause delays. I-134 can be filled digitally, he signs it by hand, scans it and emails you and then you print it out. Each packet 3 is different. Some consulates don’t even send one. I can’t really answer that as I went through a different consulate.

A pay stub from a few days ago in combination with an employment letter that was signed also a few days ago is literally the definition of current income and sure is a better indicator of current than what you made last year. Again, unless you’re trying to HIDE the fact that you’re no longer employed or making much less, how is this bad advice? And what if the officer straight up asks you what’s your petitioners salary, you’re gonna go off of what they made last year on their tax transcripts even though it might be different from now? That’s just lying and fraud. I’d rather avoid unnecessary delays. And again, I had to hand in tax transcripts, employment letter and pay stubs. I picked up my visa the very next day. Your advice would have caused me a delay of who knows how long. For example, at Montreal consulate this would have resulted in a 6-8 week delay.

Tax returns/tax transcripts- same thing and my point still stands. It’s evidence of past income and not current. That’s just false unless you’re trying to hide the fact that you’re now unemployed or making much less than what is reflected on tax return/tax transcripts.

Tax returns are not evidence of current income. They’re evidence of past income. E.g. I could have made 200k last year which would be reflected on my most recent tax return but now I’m unemployed making $0. Evidence of current income are indeed pay stubs and employment letter. Now they may not be asked for at the interview but I would sure bring them. They took tax transcripts, pay stubs and an employment letter at my interview. The US citizen will need to fill the form out and you would take it to the interview.
