Send them what they are asking for. I assume you have extra originals?

yes but not from the tax papers?do you think i must have two originals from tax papers??

Why not contact IRS and have them send you transcripts? There is no charge for this.

i guess i will but what about 2008 ,they are not ready in IRS now , i have already got the 2005,2006,2007 from IRS but my joint sponsor just got his tax filled for 2008 , do you think a copy will be fine , they will never ask for originals again , but anyway i will get 2005,2006,2007 and a copy from 2008 and a copy from the bank paper ,

what did you do why you applied?

We were a K-1. 0ur case was a bit different as Iam retired, so I just sent in the original transcripts that stated I was exempt from filing any income tax at that time. 0bviously, they accepted that. Perhaps someone will have a more definite answer for you who is doing a K-3.

They didn't ask us for original tax returns...my lawyer just made copies and that is what we sent. Since we have not had our interview yet, I guess we won't know if it's accepted or not. But they did require originals for the marriage and divorce decrees. Are you sure they need original tax returns???

i guess they dont need original tax papers ,because simply there is not originals and since they didnt send back your package 3 , so your papers are accepted

Yes that is crazy I sent in Copies of my tax returns but we were K-1. I used Turbo Tax and just printed out extra copies for them....maybe they considered that originals. But anyway however you look at it they were not in color like the original tax forms are.

man i guess you should ask the embassy about anything you want to ask for as well and don't depend on any others expierence because i guess each case has it's own circumstances and my thoughts to you is DON'T be panic or shy to ask them and i guess you can call everyday ...they have taken alot of money for that and their job is to help and to serve people and as long as they asked you to send the originals then there's no exist for you to say i guess they will need it or not ...do as they ask if you want this whole issue to be worked out

what affadavit of support did they ask for ?? I-134 or I-864 ?? or both ??

best of luck and we are waiting you to tell us how was your interview

haha, you didn't deal with them before , Egyptian staff working for the embassy basically know nothing , i called them and they said originals while the pckage says copies ,

they are literarly ignorant and useless . thanks for the help pray for me and i will let you know the updates ,

I134 is the one for k3
