Applying for H1 renewal at New Delhi
Are W-2s needed or will pay stubs suffice?

the more the better. but 3 is a good number. i head cases like chennai consulate sometime asked all the paystub and w2.

but what was your concern. do you have any w2/paystrub and lca differences?

concern is that my employer

screwed up previous W-2s. The figures for social sec are incorrect.
They have taken 3 months to get amended W2c and still counting.

I was wondering if I can avoid the whole W-2 issue altogether and instead show the paystubs

I can take chances at New Delhi if TTS visas (where I will be filing the H1 application) does not specifically ask for W-2 in the first go.

Chennai has specifically stated on its website that ALL paystubs and ALL W-2s are needed (which means a stack of paper for people who have worked for multiple years in US)
New Delhi has not.
So I was wondering if New Delhi is lax about it.

I have been with the same employer throughout anyway so am hoping W-2s may not be required

No LCA / W2 issues

just to be clear in case it helps in generating clearer responses
Thanks again for the help
