Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to this world of K1 visa applications and I'm needing some help. My fiance filed the I129F forms on the 10th May 2010 with several photos and a story of how we'd meet. I wasn't even aware that I had to do anything at the beginning so now after 3 mths of waiting they have asked us for the additional documents that should have been sent ie- letter of intent to marry 90days, his divorce papers and my story of how we met. I'm in Australia and he's in the US so getting the orginal documents to him takes time so I'm wondering if I'm able to scan them to him to save time? Or do they need to be original? Also, how much time would this mistake have held our processing time up now?? Thanks for your help everyone!

All documents that require signatures must be the originals. So anything that you sign will then have to be sent by post to him so he can then add it to the packet.

Normally they like to have the original signature, however if its just the letter of intent to marry you may be able to get away with scanning it since its not an official document. However, if they refuse to accept it, then its going to cost you more time in waiting for another RFE, so in my opinion I would just send everything to him to be safe. From what I hear, after they receive the requested documents most people get their NOA2 within a couple of weeks.

Good Luck!!
