Hi, my fiancé and I filed for the k1 visa about 5 1/2 month ago. We are now waiting for our RFE, cause we forgot to sent a couple of things.

I'm also slowly preparing everything I will need for my interview, and I read that I will need a copy of the I-129F.

The problem is, my fiancé didn't make a copy of it, will that be a big issue?

Thanks so much in advance!

Only concern will be if USCIS or NVC or the Embassy loses a part of it and asks for another copy.

Most of the time this is not an issue.

Typically you only need a copy of the I-129F to help you prepare for the interview. Some of the interview questions may come from it, especially if you included proof of relationship.

My fiancee received a copy of the I-129F (with GUZxxx case number) when the embassy sent her the packet 3 letter.

So your foreign fiancee should at least get the I-129F form (but not other documents you sent).

Hi, my fiancé and I filed for the k1 visa about 5 1/2 month ago. We are now waiting for our RFE, cause we forgot to sent a couple of things.

I'm also slowly preparing everything I will need for my interview, and I read that I will need a copy of the I-129F.

The problem is, my fiancé didn't make a copy of it, will that be a big issue?

Thanks so much in advance!

Nothing really to sweat about. They embassy rarely asks (if not at all) for anything from the submitted files on the I-129f packet. What is more critical is knowing the information submitted with it, like for example, consistently remembering details of how you guys initially met (Item 34a of the I-129f form).

Might be a good idea to check out the consulate reviews for what are typically asked for during an embassy interview: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Germany&cty=&dfilter=5

-You can also narrow the search by choosing the topic (Ex. K1) on the upper right part of the page.

Yes it could be a problem and that is why they say make a copy of the entire file and some recommend you make two copies....hopefully it wont be that big of an issue but it sounds like it has already caused a problem otherwise you would be posting....hang in there :-)

copy of I-129F petition is not required by the embassy... they have the original. That is just something someone here on VJ added.
