So so close! I spoke with the Consulate officer in London and she advised that everything is in order and they are happy except for my wife’s domicile. The officer has asked for documents from the IRS . As my wife has been working in the UK we never thought she would have to file for 2007. Doh! We have now, and just in time as she gets to the 16th of June. The officer advised that IRS print outs are acceptable along with supporting schedules for 2006 and 2007. Now I assume that these are simply copies of the forms 1040 and 2555EZ along with copies of pay slips etc that we filed. Can anyone confirm???
Some good news, our baby girl Olivia had her interview in London and she has now been issued her US passport!!!
Just this damn Visa holding us back now!!!

File the returns late.
US citizens may be exempt from paying tax on foreign income, however are NOT exempt from reporting this to IRS by filing a return every year.
IRS can provide simple transcripts, this is what the counselor officer is asking for.

Also you are DCF, NOT K-3 as your profile, how about correcting this to DCF, or CR-1/IR-1? http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...rCP&CODE=01

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=39841We have filed now using forms 1040 and 2555EZ. The statement from the consular officer asks for " Copies of form 1040 and all supporting schedules, IRS print outs are acceptable" I understand that I can get the IRS to fax them once the tax returns have been processed. I was hoping just copies of the forms would be accepted as I already have them. Who knows? I guess its best to send them the IRS printouts to be sure.
If it’s not one thing it’s 10,000 others! LOL!!!!
Oh and thanks, I changed the profile to show DCF.
Cheers MAtt and Amy

When we did out visa interview I used IRS transcripts with affidavit of support. Copies of the returns should be fine.
NOTE IRS has the originals anyway, and all you do have are copies.

My in-laws can post the transcripts over. The returns should be with the IRS on Friday. I suppose I shall have to wait for them to be processed. The letter does only ask for copies and then states printouts are acceptable. I’m tempted to send just the copies but is it worth the risk of creating further delays?? I’m supposed to call once I have the documents and the SMS courier will collect. I think I shall wait until I have transcripts…. Crumbs I can’t make my mind up!!
Cheers for the help

I think you are right. They have asked for copies so that what I will send. I was unsure if they wanted copies from the IRS. Problems solved.
Cheers for the help.
