If you send all you stated you will be fine, after NOA-2 and going to the interview you should use as much originals as possible.

Some folks here got an RFE for not sending letters/forms/documents that that doesn't show their original signature.

My RFE was due to not sending the entire divorce decree. I sent only the page with our names and the County clerk stamp. The RFE stated "The divorce decree was missing pages". My advice is send every page of the divorce decree, mine was 20 pages long.

Sorry if that was confusing... originals of certificates are not required... original signature on G-325A and I-129F are required but I don't think they are always RFE'd for that. I have seen threads that have discussed this and I wouldn't send those forms without original signatures in blue ink as there are sometimes problems with black ink looking like a copy.

Hi,

Photocopy everything in COLOR (a little extra helps) when you need to mail it. Make two of everything.

Keep your originals for your interview. Originals are a MUST only for interviews.

I hope this helps.

blue ink? black is the standard and formal ink.

... just passing on what I have read here from others experience.... and some have had an RFE for black because it looked like a copied signature which they apparently don't like. Frankly, its up to you what you do. seeya

Hello guys,

Okay: if i have understand official documents need to be original (that contains signatures., stamps...ext)..

I have a question: how about the evidence of trips together like: Flight tickets, hotel bills....do i have to give originals to the interview, or copies are enough??

i was planning, to provide them only copies , but i will take originals with me if they ask me about original ones...!!!

what do u guys think?

Thanks

BOTH. As of what I understand, proof of meeting each other can be photocopies (colored if possible), but you have to bring the original on the interview. Let's see what others will say.
