Does VO keep the documents?

Does VO keep the documents after the interview? say if he/she wants to look at I-134, tax returns, etc...after the interview do you get all of them back?

jackc - it's my understanding, for a K-1 - it all goes into the sealed 'do not open' envelope that yer fiance receives back via EMS.

Thanks for the info -- I hope that's the case! Do you think that the documents the beneficiary brings with him/her to the interview, such as the police clearance, certificate of no marriage, and a birth certificate, will also be in that envelope? Or only the documents that were forwarded to the embassy from the NVC after the petition process?

The only thing that was returned to us at the interview was the original birth certificate. They even kept my W2s.

I think they are talking about the large brown/yellow envelope the Alien Beneficiary should carrty to the US POE when entering for the first time.

Every post I have seen is that all the documents are supposed to be in that large envelope. The Embassy/Consulate will return most document originals that you brought at the time of the interview that they might have requested to see such as Birth Certificate, Divorce Decree, etc.
