Really need copies of ALL documents at interview?

So in the packet we received for my husbands interview on the 18th in Montreal it listed everything he needs to bring, we already have everything so thats not an issue. But when I look here: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/packet4-montreal.pdf

It says to make copies of everything (didnt say that in our packet). I'm wondering do we really have to make copies of EVERYTHING? Like his police checks, court records, I-864, tax returns, ect...??

Thats a whole lot of copies considering the I-864 alone is like 8 pages (and we have 2 of them).

Anyone that has had a recent interview for a CR1 please let me know if you were required to have copies of everything. Thanks

You have to hand in the original AOS package at the interview. Making copies is suggested so you have everything for your own records, in case you ever need it in the future.

yes it's best to have another set of copies, what if one set of files gets lost in the mail,always make two sets of every thing that you sent,the uscis lose files often.so be prepared make two copies for insurance,just in case.

OK if its only for our benefit then I am not going to bother (except for things like our marriage lic. and his birth cert.).

Everything else we still have all of the scanned copies on the computer and in my email so if we need copies in the future we can always just print em off

Thank you everyone.

I think the point is that you want an extra set at the interview. Once they ahve their copies, you might wanta copy on hand in front of you. Otherwise you're right, a scanned copy can be reprinted as needed lateron.

If a document is missing and the CO needs/wants it in order to approve the visa request, then it's probably worth taking a copy so that you can just hand it to them. Don't get lazy this close to the goal (obtaining the visa).

Well I will be bringing the all the originals in with us to the interview so if they need it we can just hand it over to them. But yep you are 100% right. I will just go make copies of everything just to be on the safe side (wow I'll be spending allot of time at that copy machine lol)
