copies or originals

[remconds 0]

Hi,

Im wondering if I should send copies of all the evidence that I have, or the originals? Im going to make copies of course to keep at home in case of RFE, but was thinking to send them the originals.

If you did send copies, did you do color or black and white copies?

Send the photocopies. See this link: General Tips on Assembling Applications for Mailing

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

I sent black and white copies of all my paperwork, except for my green card, drivers licenses, and health insurance cards because I copied those at home by scanning them into the computer and printing them on my color inkjet. I don't think it matters, though.

Send the photocopies. Keep the originals.

I sent all photocopies black and white. Good luck.

If you are printing things like bank statements (or other documents found online) off your computer and you want to send the originals, then that's fine.

If you have official documents (GC, driver's license, insurance certificates etc.) then only send copies.

I only did colour copies when it was necessary (I included a copy of a magazine article where David and I were pictured, green card etc.) and I felt that I wanted to have a certain quality and clarity of image.
