1040 question - NVC's conflicting answers: need help

[Trojan.in.Japan 0]

Background information:

My joint sponsor filed his taxes via H&R Block. I understand that an 8453 nor an 8879 are accepted by the NVC. My joint sponsor sent me a copy of his 2013 taxes that had the watermark "COPY ONLY DO NOT FILE" written all over it. I was told that this would not be accepted.

My joint sponsor contacted his accountant, who then printed and signed an unaltered 1040 with the W-2 and accompanying schedules. Basically it looks like a regular 1040.

NVC Contact:

Call #1: I asked whether or not this 1040 would be accepted, and her response was "as long as it is not a 8453 or an 8879 then it is okay."

Call #2 (this call was to determine whether the accountant's signature on the 1040 without the tax payer's signature would be okay): His response was that the NVC would not accept any 1040's that were e-filed and that I had to submit a 2013 tax return transcript. I explained what I was told during Call #1 but it was completely ignored. I tried to explain that it is an exact copy of a 1040, as if it wasn't e-filed. That too, was ignored.

Question:

I am fine with having to wait for the tax transcript but...

Should I go with the information that I was given in Call #1 or Call #2? I am inclined to go with call #2 myself, considering how sure the respresentative was of the information.

Is there anyone here who can clarify the situation? Thank you.

Go with the information you've already been given in your earlier thread. Submit a complete copy of the 2013 tax return including W2 and all forms and schedules that would have been mailed if filed by mail. Tax return copies do not require a signature, so it is a non-issue. Take it to the bank. Get on with it already.
