I-864 Affidavit of Support - Required documents for taxes

The instructions seem to have a conflict here or I'm reading too much into it.

My wife has her interview at the embassy this week and had a few questions I was hoping to get some clarification on for the i-864.

The instructions seem to have a conflict here or i'm reading too much into it.

Tax Returns vs Transcript:

Here it says either a transcript or the return (with w-2's etc.) with the transcript being preferred for the most recent tax year.

Item Numbers 23.a. - 25. Federal Income Tax Return Information. You must provide either an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year. If you believe additional returns may help you to establish your ability to maintain sufficient income, you may submit transcripts or photocopies of your Federal individual income tax returns for the three most recent years.

And then at the bottom for the checklist it says under "For ALL Sponsors" that it must be the income tax return with w-2's etc, with no mention of a a transcript in lieu of the entire return.

So my questions on this part

  1. Is the transcript sufficient?
  2. I haven't filed my 2020 returns yet, since they are not due til May and i'll be filing an extension i assume my 2019 tax transcripts will suffice? I also printed my 2020 W-2's to show reported income and taxes withheld.

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
