Hong had interview,passed oral test, they want a paper 1722 (yes 1722 ) showing transcript for 2005 taxes, I have filled form 4506-T this is to obtain the 1722 letter according to my instructions.

Only problem is these are not ready yet since it is so close after tax season.

What am I supposed to show or what else will satisfy the US Consulate Gereral ???? I have made copies of all my 2005 pay check stubs and 2006 up to last week.Will these work along with a letter stating why I am unable to obtain the information requested.


Thanks all

Call 1-800-829-1040 and get them by phone.. they're available as soon as they are processed... so if you've gotten your refund, it's been processed... THis way is ALOT quicker than filing that form through the mail...

GREAT I filed early and recevied refund months ago,I called last week and requested the information on the phone,and faxed and talked to a live person.this should get me a set as fast as possible.

Thanks ZYGGY

Don't you have copies of the tax returns that you filed? I provided unsigned copies of my returns and they were OK. (unsigned because they were filed electronically.) Good Luck

My lawyer sent my taxes for 2003,2004,2005 & transcripts for only 2003,2004,
Now US Consulate wants transcript for IRS from 2005 =
I think I have this covered now=Waiting for snail mail to drop off.


Thanks for the advice.

I am now checking for airfare for Hong.

Mark, I don't mean to alarm you, and frankly I admire your confidence here, but why are you under the impression that once you provide these transcripts that your fiance will be instantly given her visa? If you check the postings of others who have been given blue slips and have been asked to provide the exact same thing you have to the HCMC consulate, it is months before their case is re-reviewed, and yet you are already planning on plane tickets and filing AOS.

Did they tell you specifically that your case is going to be different? Really, I hope it does go this easy for you.

NOT INSTANTLY ,I am guessing with in a few days
Because it seems to be if you pay a little money things go faster in Vietnam,
Kinda like things go better with coke.
When you pay a few dollars your paper work does not go to the bottom of the stack=just the way it is !

At HCMC a few days=instantly. Well, let me know how that goes. There's a few others here that would like to know the secret.

How do you talk to a live person?!?!?!?!?!?!

good luck finding a live person

OK, I found one and she says they DO NOT offer 1722 anymore. Period.

This is what I was told two weeks ago. WTF is going on in Vietnam?!?!?!

I don't know, but check this out. In another one of his posts, MarkV posted this reply:



He didn't say in this posting that the consulate requested additional evidence of their relationship but my man states here that he didn't provide pictures "with the person"

OK, HERE IS THE TRUTH in regards to form 1722.

Download form 4506-T and request your transcript via 1722 and you will get a stamped transcript from the IRS.

The problem is the IRS pushed this form back, prefering the automated, unstamped transcripts. But they did not discontinue 1722. It took me an hour on the phone with 5 different reps to get to the truth.

Matt,

Can you further clarify with more detail what you mean when saying, "request your transcript via 1722."

Are you referring to "Line 6" on the 4506-T form? Where it says, "Transcript Requested. Enter the tax form number here (1040, 1065, 1120, etc.) and check the appropriate box below. Enter only one tax form number per request." Is this where we are supposed to list '1722'?

Really appreciate you sharing the information you found with the IRS. So it seems this should now become part of the normal document gathering before the interview.

Sorry Daleqq didn't think I would confuse some,guess you were one of them. I only had to provide more information on my income. I have transcripts in hand now,took 7 days to arrive,will send out today by FEDEX
About the pictures ,we did have engagement pictures , but Hong did not have any of us in the gereral public taken together. This didn't seem to pose a problem in the interview for Hong.

I think, letter 1722 is available now. They discontinued it for a while, but now are making it available due to numerous requests.

Yes, I certainly was, because in your other post you didn't say you didn't send pictures "in the general public" together. It looked like you said you didn't send any pictures of the two of you together at all.

But still to this point. When my fiance did her interview, they were LEAST interested in the engagement pictures and MOST interested in public shots of us together around town. In fact they didn't even look at the studio shots.

Thats exactly what happened with us. Bala had interview on Nov. 15, 2005 they asked for transcripts from IRS. I sent those and its now been 5 months that we have been waiting. I hope it moves much faster for you, but just know it may not be.

Good luck to all

OK up date, Hong received my (1722 ) tax transcript on April 28th,she went back to the US Consulate ,turned in the paperwork,they accepted the paper.
They gave her a paper saying they now need her fingerprints=$85.00
She will do this next week,she is going to her home town to have a small party with her family. I am thinking she will receive visa next week.

Well, we all wish you luck! Question for you:
