Should I send my passport as the original for supporting documentation?

Ok fair enough, it's not too much of an issue with me as I've never been married but might be for kiwiana.

Or it might be for any reader. We encourage people to read many threads and search subjects in order to learn the process. As such, it's important that blanket statements be accurate for any reader, not just the person directly asking the question.

Thanks to everyone for your advice. I haven't been divorced but "divorce decree" was included in the K1 guide so I thought it could help make things clearer. maybe not I won't give my SO my passport. I didn't want to anyways Thanks again!

Not just to nit-pik but clear communication is critical to understanding. You cannot "give" your passport to your fiancee unless you are present in person. If you're there in person, of course, give the passport to your fiancee to show the Consular Officer. What you do not do it mail your passport internationally.

It's not like you can leave it behind. You need it to travel home to begin with and you may need it to travel to the interview city if certain problems come up.

My fiance is coming to the US in a week so I was going to "give" him my passport, in person, then if it was necessary along with a complete copy of the 129F packet I sent to USCIS. Thanks to everyone's advice, I won't be doing that. I understand that clear communication is critical to understanding but this process can be confusing and questions do arise. I am new to this process and sometimes I don't understand everything. I am not new to international travel so I know that I'd need my passport to return to the US if I were going to France to visit him.

The missing information is that your fiance was coming here.
