Preparing I-129, clarification questions on copies

[Mrnugyen 1]

Hi All,

Almost ready to send in my I-129F packet, YAHH!! Just wanted to clarify my understanding is correct on copies.

The initial packet I send in needs to be the oroginal forms with original signatures on the forms. Proof of supporting evidence can be photo copies and I should keep original. I should make a copy of the entire packet to send to my fiance so she has it for when they call her for her interview.

The question here is I am required to send in original signatures for the initail packet, but she CAN have copies of the I-129f and g-325a along w/ her additional supporting proof when she goes in for the latter interview? She doesn't also need originals of I-129F and G325a?

Also, the guide states once I'm done preparing the packet, to make two copies, so the original I will send in, I'll send her a copy of the entire packet for her interview along with proof of ongoing relationship for her interview, does the last copy need to go someone? or just to have in case of lost documents etc.?

Thanks a bunch, just wants to make sure everything is correct as possible, being ####### LOL.

You got right.

Send original docs with signatures. Keep an exact copy of the entire packet just in case. Strange things happen sometimes. Good luck

You are pretty much correct. The reason you make a 2nd copy is: in the case they lose your entire I-129f packet or are missing documents, you will know exactly what you send them and can resend it. Its also so your fiancee knows what you sent and can prepare herself better for the interview. If there are no problems in your case, then the 2nd copy of your packet will just be for your fiancee. It is basically reference material for your fiancee. When your fiancee has her interview, the CO will have the entire I-129f packet in front of him.

You copy the package for your own safety. The Embassy will not need it for interview because they have your copy from NVC. The Embassy will also send to your fiancee a copy of I-129 along with instruction letter ( Package 3).

Good luck.
