Tax transcripts (I-134)

[SabrinaFrance 8]

We are in the process of prepping everything for the embassy interview. 2 weeks ago I have asked my fiancé and his dad (our co-sponsor) to order their tax transcripts at the IRS toll free number, of course they have only just done it now (when I found out I wanted to strangle them!!!).

Could someone tell me how long approximately it takes before having the transcripts in the mail once ordered?

Plus, would it be acceptable to present a copy at the embassy and not the originals? I understand that the I-134 form should be original, but would copies of transcripts be ok?

Thanks in advance

Took about 7 days for mine. Yes: Scanned or faxed copies are OK.

Mine took 6 days. I just recieved the paper work now. Even that we don't have our file out of USCIS I just want to make sure we have everything in order when we do get the NOA2.

Thanks for your feedback, I hope it will be ok too with Paris embassy.

You are smart!

Our NOA2 arrived so fast that we were caught of guards. And then my fiancé being a guy ("there is plenty of time hunny") isnt helping, lol! Hopefully we will get the transcripts within a week too.

You should recieve it in that time. They told me like 10-15 days and I looked in my mail box the other day and I recieved it already. Good luck with your case. I'm a guy but I'm a person that gets everything done ahead of time I don't like rushing or waiting to the last min for things. My boss at work really likes it lol

If you are short on time for the transcripts. You can go to the local IRS office and wait for them. That is what I did. Had to wait for about 45 minutes, but left with the transcripts in hand.

Got it faxed the same day by IRS. Not sure how.

I just got off the phone with the IRS to get my transcripts.

I'm not in a rush so I was trying to use their automated system to get them through the mail but I was somehow connected to a person (i wasn't really paying attention to the automated prompts...think i may have been too slow or hit an incorrect key or something). I told the person I wanted 2006-2008 tax return transcripts and he offered to fax or mail them. I said mail was fine, he warned that it could take 7-10 days, and I said that was okay.

Anyway, maybe you can get your transcripts faxed quickly if you can connect to a live person when you call.
