Why do I need to send my USCIS I-129F packet to my fiancee for her interview?

The I-129F specifically says for USCIS use only. So why would the consolate need this? They are part of Department of State. Will they ask for information from the USCIS I-129F packet?

Thanks,

Chuck

I think you misunderstand. The consulate is going to receive the entire packet you sent to USCIS, including the I-129F. You aren't sending a copy of the packet to your fiance so that she can give it to the consulate - the consulate doesn't need it because they'll have the original. You're sending her a copy so she'll know everything that you wrote on those forms and included as evidence. It will help her be better prepared for the interview.

EDIT: You should also send her the originals for any copies of documents and evidence you sent with the petition. The consulate may ask to see those originals.

Will do! Thanks for the clarification.
