My husband sent me original copies . The Packet 4 specifically states that original documents must be presented during the interview, but according to some of the replies they only submitted copies of the documents you enumerated and they were good so I believe its okay. Nonetheless, if your petitioner is able to send the original copies, then tell him to do so.

Removal of Conditions :

August 16, 2010 - Petition received by USCIS Vermont Center

August 20, 2010 - NOA1 received

October 4, 2010 - Biometrics

January 3, 2011 - Permanent 10 yr. Green Card Received.

I also submitted copies except for the notarized AOS and the certificate of employment in company letterhead. My prescreener only asked for the I-134, form 1040, and the certificate of employment. But like what everyone says here, gather as much evidence and support as you can cuz u'll never know what they'll be asking for. Good luck on your interview :)

Sent N400: Oct 27, 2011

NOA: Nov 1, 2011

Biometrics: Nov 16, 2011

Yellow letter date: 12/14/2011

You can also go online to the IRS to request tax transcipts for up to 3 years and they would be original printouts.

How does one send original copies when my fiance filed his income taxes using turbo tax for the last 15 years. He's got printed copies of all the tax forms. All the w-2's are saved as well.

Romans 8:31

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

Even faxed copies will be accepted. Just make sure that you send the original I-134 Affidavit of Support with the notary public stamp & signature as well as your signature. So basically, if you're already sending the original I-134, just xerox your W-2, IRS forms, pay stubs, bank statements, life insurance papers, mortgage papers, 1099, etc. However, I would send the original employment letter and the original statement of account from your bank. (Keep copies of those for yourself).

Good luck!

If the petitioner meets the above poverty level of income, it is okay already to not to submit bank statements, assets,mortgage.

If meets the above poverty level of income, the following is good already:

Signed and notarized I-134

Tax transcripts from IRS (2005, 2006 , 2007)

W2 (is not necessary if you already provide the tax trancripts)

Employment letter from employer stating job title, date started, salary , and status (full time/ part time)

at least 3 recent pay stubs before the interview

hello VJ users, :)

I filed my I-485 & I-765 application last january 28,09 on feb 27 iv done my biometrics... but this march 27 i received an RFE requiring us to submit some initial evidence like my husbands recent 2008 1040 and w2s, they also require us to submit recent letter of employment indicating the dates of employment, wages & salary,nature of the job,numbers of hours worked and pay stubs. We got all of that expect recent letter of employment my husbands job has a new policy of not giving out or provide letter of employment anymore. So i just use the 2007 letter of employment and a letter of recognition of a good job well done that he just had last feb 20,09. For me i think this is way enough to show them that my husband met the poveryty line and that he has really working stable but am confuse hope anyone could help me and share me some good views

thank u

Just wanted to note the the current version of form I-134 does NOT need to be notarized. There is no place on the form for any notarization.

In fact I don't know of any K visa related document that requires a notarized signature.

Should be OK. I used copies for all of this except the employment letter for my wife's affadavit, I used a copy of it for our son's affadavit. HOWEVER, I went to the interview and had originals of all in case they asked. They CAN ask for originals, so it is best to have then available but not give them unless asked.

Normally, in the packet 3 instructions it states which documents must be "original" and which can be copies. If it doesn't say "original" assume a copy is acceptable. Follow that guide for your consulate.
