@geowrianWhen getting transcripts does it need to be accompanied by W2s and 1040? Or can my fiance send me just her transcripts itself

I think it depends of each country, because Caracas Embassy send an email saying I should submit forms W2 and 1040 with the affidavit of support, so maybe you should call or email your embassy and asked them

Thanks for the input...it's amazing how different each embassy handles things. But just to confirm, they said to bring the W2 and 1040 along with a tax transcript (not the tax return)?

What is a tax transcript and how do I obtain one?

The transcript is an official record from the IRS of what was actually filed. You can get one from the IRS website...either via download or having it sent by mail.

 

A tax return is just a piece of paper that you may or may not have actually sent to the IRS, so that's why they generally want to see the W2 and such. The tax transcript is what the IRS actually received and processed.

Nope. they didn't say anything about tax transcript. They just said I should submit Form I-134 and forms W2 and 1040 for the last 3 years.

 

This is what the email says (in spanish):

• Affidavit of Support
• Declaración de impuesto de los tres últimos años, formas 1040 y W2.

There were 2 approvals for Nov. cases today along with 17 RFEs. Seems like they are finally making good progress again on Nov. cases. They touched 26% of all the remaining unworked Nov. cases this week alone.

 

Also, there was 1 Nov. approval from yesterday after my VJ post.

Thanks! Yeah, it doesn't say transcript, so the 1040 and W2s would be good to bring as well. I think the transcripts would work, but I'd go by their instructions.

Hey geowrian!

Big fan of your work (I follow it every week to see how's the progress going since I'm still without NOA2..). Are you still making the sheets? I saw the last one for April 1st so I was just wondering.

156 days and FINALLY our case has been touched... although we did get an RFE, I am SO HAPPY that the case has not been lost.

Now... once I send the RFE back to them, how long do they have to look over my RFE? Or about how long does it take?

Finally!!!

 

I sent it back and was received 2 business days later, then approved 2 business days after that. The average is about a week after acknowledging receipt of the RFE response, but obviously it depends on the nature of the RFE.

Thanks! I am super happy, although it doesn't seem real. 
I think I already know what it is because I was looking through the paperwork and noticed I didn't put the date for my fiancee's divorce on his g325a, other than that, not sure what else it could be.

I am super happy for you IIaz, I am happy that even if it's an RFE that you got news and to know that your case is there, someone look at it. I am still desperate, no news..130 plus days if not 140 already..

Aww... I know getting RFE sucks, but Im happy for you my dear that your case were touched. Dont worry, they may approve yours about 1~2 weeks after receiving your respond. it wont take that long. Do you have any ideas what RFE is about?
