K-1 Interview - What Evidence to Bring?

[Narot23 1]

Should my fiancee bring originals of cards (she wrote to me), receipts, ticket stubs of our activities together, etc. to the interview? Or are scans of these type of "ongoing relationship" evidence enough?

What exactly, in terms of originals, is necessary?

I attended the K1 interview with my fiancee in the US Embassy in Tokyo.

This list contains what she needs to bring:

http://japan2.usembassy.gov/e/visa/tvisa-niv-kchecklist.html

I had front loaded our 129F with copies of visa stamps (me visiting Japan and she visiting the US), copies of boarding passes, copies of hotel receipts, and lots of pictures throughout the previous 3 years. I took copies of all that to the interview. The interviewer didn't ask for any of it.

Personally I never considered letters, email, phone bills,etc to be very useful. That goes triple for chat logs. So I never included any of that.

Obviously, birth certificate, police certificate, etc, you're going to need originals. The rest of the stuff we just used copies.

Japan is an extremely low fraud country so the interview should be very simple and fast. The interviewer even called me up to the window and just asked me where I worked and for how long. A couple minutes later he said congratulations and we were on our way to get breakfast. It was easier than any trip I had to the California DMV.
