How long does it take to get tax transcript from IRS?

[iipenny 18]

Hi there, I'm wondering how long does it take to get tax transcript from IRS? It says on their website that it will be 5-10 days. But on some websites say it will take up to 30 days some even say 75 days. My fiance ordered it by mail as the online option was not available. I'm kinda worry about this as I plan send packet3 to the embassy at the end of October.

Thank you!

I can't remember the exact time it took, but I remember ordering our transcripts back in July for our removal of conditions and they were delivered to us within the 5-10 day timeline. At the time, the online option wasn't available to us, as I think the IRS took that feature away due to security issues.

Approx 10 days or can go to IRS office and they will give you while you there.

Thank you! I didn't know about the IRS office option. May be I could have my fiance go the last minute if we still don't have it in hand.

You can print them from the IRS website. That's what I did. Well download them and print them.

Well that's #######. Nothing better than a bureaucracy looking for ways to slow things down.

if you order on Monday you can get them delivered on Friday but sometimes it can take longer.

I am curious why the tax transcript is required for the K1 visa. Looking at the US Embassy site for Kenya, it only states the I-134 affidavit of support, It appears to me that the IRS tax transcript is only required with the I-864 affidavit of support (which is for a different kind of visa I believe).

Here is what i copied and pasted from the site itself:

Visa Interview Preparation Instructions

• Visa Interview Prep Instructions (PDF 264 KB)
• DS-260
• I-864 Affidavit of Support (PDF 8 KB) Note: An IRS generated tax transcript from the most recent tax year should accompany the I-864. The IRS tax transcript can be requested at: http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript
• Photo requirements (PDF 8 KB)
• Medical Contacts

It STILL says it's not available on line!? Good grief, I tried to get a tax transcript on line a month ago and it said that. I still don't have it. That's a shame. When the on line option works, you have it instantly.
