ORIGINALS VS SCANNED COPIES during Interview

[souleymon 27]

My interview comes up next week.My fiancee would be coming down to Nigeria next thursday with the supporting documents for my interview.The bad feeling is Nigeria Begins a Nationwide Strike Next Monday,which will ground movement,both Air,water n Land.

I'll like to know if scanning the documents for my interview will be acceptable by the embassy.So as to prevent missing things entirely,cos i cant say how long the strike might be.It just might be called off on tuesday,but its certain to hold on MONDAY.while she is leaving the states on Wednesday.

If you have had your interview in Lagos with scanned or photocopied docs,Kindly share

i will expect that all documents to prove your relationship could be scanned except photographs. I was suprised at the point of interview that those photograph and documents my fiancee submitted during the time we filled the I129 fiancee pertition was sent to lagos and i saw it during my interview. The CO pointed one of the photograh to me and asked me to identify someone from it. i was of the opinion that she want to be sure i know those in the picture and she want to compare my response to what my fiance has already identify on the photograph. Your avidaffit of support will be original signed by your fiancee. if your fiance cannot meet up like you said, i will advise you filled the avidaffit yourself by asking relevant information from yur fiance. The signature part can be signed by you. ( i mean signed her signature). The other documents to support the Avidaffit can then be scaned to you. Make sure you have all your correspondence history, my e.mail records is 100 pages during my interview and to my suprise the CO glance thru the page one after the other. after that she asked for the call records which i also gave her. Your fiancee can as well scanned her call record to you. in my case, my fiancee did not have a call record because her telephone company shred them out every 3 months, i have to provide a call record form the Starcome which i use. Stacome is the best in Nigeria that will give you your call record without very easy without any street. others like ZAin and MTN are pain in the ####. You will be asked how you met and what attracted you in her. in my case,we met online and i told her i was the one that contacted her first. Just be prepare to answer any question as far as your relationship is concern. I wish you good luck.

I sent anything which need a original signature from the petitioner certified and tracked. My attorney at the time just scanned and emailed to her. I always like to have the original of any document at uscis interviews and a copy so there is no excuse not to approve my evidence. Hope that helps.

NO to the bolded part above. Absolutely DO NOT sign her signature on the I-134. It would be far far better to submit a scanned copy of the document she signed. Never ever forge a signature on any contract, especially one you're going to submit to the US government.

Agreed. It is horrible, horrible advice to tell someone to FORGE a signature on an official document.
