For my IR1 case, I only submitted 1 year of tax transcript and supporting W2s. But I also uploaded 3 of my most recent pay stubs. On the I 864 form I did write down what my income was for the 3 previous yrs, but only submitted my most recent tax transcript.  I was approved by NVC with no issues or delays. 

They are up to Mid April 2022. There are CR1/IR1naija Facebook groups in which people discuss spousal visa matters related to Nigeria and discuss when interview letters are sent out. Generally, for the lagos embassy they release interview letters in the last week of each month. 

They are up to July 2021. Hopefully before year is over they'll be caught up with all of 2021 DQ dates.

The embassy is currently up to June 2, 2021 for NVC DQ for interviews.  If you were DQed in OCT 2021 then your interview should be coming up within a few months. 

They are up to April 2021 DQ dates as of last week, those couples have their interviews in Sept.

We will all continue to wait. Right now, the Lagos embassy is prioritizing student, tourist, and K1 visas (probably has something to do with more monetary gain vs. CR1/IR1). Some people have been waiting since mid to late Dec 2020 when they were documentarily qualified by NVC. The wait is extremely tiring and frustrating but yet that's all we can do..... wait. You can attempt to expedite for an interview if u have a valid reason but even then the embassy may still reject your request. There is a petition I saw going around on some fb naija/US marriage based visa groups about the senseless waiting for an interview.... I don't know how fruitful those efforts will truly be though. 
 
All we can do is pray that by the summer, they shift their focus to CR1/IR1 visa interviews. 🙏🏽

This is really, really fantastic news. Hopefully approval is going to happen quickly so we can save lives. I know that there are plenty of people (22% of people ages 12 and up) who have not had at least one jab, and their lives are as worthy of saving as those of us in the majority who have chosen to be vaccinated. 

Ok thank you for the clarification!
