Manila Embassy did not accept my IRS tax transcript ? Stating they want a copy of my income tax return. I gave my fiance a copy of my W2, and I requested a tax transcript from the IRS. What else do they want for income tax return proof?

Anyone experience this?

We got to submit document to 2GO branch, kinda scared to just submit the same thing again.

So just to clarify.... you submited a tx transcript issued to you from the IRS along with your W2 and it was not accepted and they are now requesting and actual income tax return?

Sorry to hear this but they really need your Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and

wage statements (Form W-2). I wonder why they didn't accept the transcript.

Yes I gave my fiance the IRS Tax Transcript (which was mailed to me from the IRS) and my W2. And they still request the W2 and now Tax Return.

Im concerned because I did not make enough in 2010, but I did in 2011. I just submitted my 2011 taxes and gave her both 2010 and 2011 Tax Return and W2s. Praying they will accept this now...

Yes i feel that was exactly the issue if you submitted a transcript and they are requesting the tax return. I feel you have now solved the issue and are smart to send in both along witht he w2's

good luck

Is it normal for the embassy to hold the passport when they issue a 221g (white form) requesting documents?

If they don't hold your passport is when you should worry... its good they kept it. Give them what they request and they will give you what you are wanting.... visa!

The following is from the U.S. Embassy Manila's K-1 interview preparation instructions:

You must bring the following documentation when you come to the Embassy for your interview:

...

(snip)

...

m. EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. Download Form I-134 at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis.

When the Embassy issues a MNL-IV-22 form (with the 221g statement at the top) it is normal to hold the passport while waiting for the requested documrnts/information.

If you were issued the infamous 221g your visa petition would have been rejected and you would have received a notice your petiton was being sent back to the NVC and the passort returned.

The MNL-IV-22 form is not the infamous 221g so commonly referred to on VJ.

You were turned down for not meeting the basic eligibility income requirements in 2010, not because you were using a Tax Transcript, which a majority of people use for the I-134. I just wanted to clarify that point in case, some novice VJ users took this to mean tax transcipts are not acceptable for the I-134.

Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong but were you there at the interview?

They didn't even look at the income, I stated that is my concern yes, but they didn't even look at it - the particular CO we had DID NOT ACCEPT THE TAX TRANSCRIPT OR MY W2. I provided 2007 to 2010 W2s and Tax Transcripts. Did I make a mistake? Yes, I should have included the Form 1040's, but actually I think my case was a special blessing in disguise.

IF they denied based on income, then my 221g WOULD HAVE SAID SO. PERIOD. But it doesn't, it says 2010 W2 (which she had with her) and 2010 Income Tax Return needed. Why would they ask for the stuff if they know it wasn't sufficient?

Point of the story:

TAKE W2, FORM 1040, and IF you have them, IRS Tax Transcripts as backup, because maybe the CO doesn't pay taxes and therefore has no idea what a Tax Transcript really is!

You gotta ask yourself the Dirty Harry:

I know what you're thinking. "Did he take six documents or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is the Manila Embassy, the most stringent Embassy in the world, and would blow your case clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

And learn from the mistakes (or hidden blessings) of others so you don't have to go through what we did.

AND ABOVE ALL - GIVE GLORY TO GOD no matter what the outcome!

=) Because He sure does know best, and I praise Him for this process because it truly is, a blessing to not have to get a sponsor and go through Administrative Review. Submitting extra documents is much better.
