the I-129F package?

[norris04 0]

I misread some text and I thought that all the main forms like the I-129f, G-325A must be refilled out to the earlier date of the interview of the fiancee. So I copied all the evidence, letters of intent, IM archives, BC & Passport copies, everything except both G-25A. I wanted to know is it really important for the fiancee to have the whole copy of the package at the interview?

As far as I know, keeping an exact replica of the package sent is to ease any problems incase of an RFE, so you know exactly what is missing and what they are asking for.

Insofar as what your fiance must have at the interview, logically since the embassy will have the documents required directed from the service center through NVC, there is no real need to produce an exact replica to hand to them. If anything, the replica at that point in time is to familiarize your fiance with your details on the G-325A and I-129F for questions that may be asked at the interview. ie. Where does he work, when did he start working there, what is his address, what is his mother's name, what is his father's name etc

As for what the fiance must have at the interview that is already in the initial petition is an updated letter of intent to marry from the USC, probably original documents like the USC birth certificate/passport (not 100% sure on this), divorce papers etc.

All correct!

And yes, the foreign beneficiary fiance/e should have the original for every document that was sent as a photocopy with the petition. Some consulates almost never ask for this stuff, but it's important to have just in case your fiance/e ends up being one of the few. Use common sense here - you don't need to mail him/her your passport just because you included a photocopy of it with the petition. On the other hand, if you're there at the consulate with him/her and can't go in to the interview, then give him/her your passport to show the CO that you're there rooting for him/her. At some consulates this can help - a LOT!
