I-129 package documents, birth certificates copies?

[G&G15 0]

Hello all,

My question regards the documents and birth certificates in the I-129 package.

Do the birth certificates and other related documents need to be original copies? If so, how are my original copies returned to me?

Also, when do financial records (minimum income requirements) need to be submitted? Also, how is a cosponsor used in this phase?

Thanks for the help

Hello all,

My question regards the documents and birth certificates in the I-129 package.

Do the birth certificates and other related documents need to be original copies? If so, how are my original copies returned to me? Read page 1 of the Form I-129F Instructions, see link below.

Also, when do financial records (minimum income requirements) need to be submitted? Also, how is a cosponsor used in this phase? see below.

Thanks for the help

You need to send photocopies of your documents.

The financials are needed at the K-1 visa interview later. The USC petitioner and co-sponsor will each provide their own I-134 and supporting documentation.

Hi, the embassy in Naples accepts a certified copy of the birth certificate. They dont require an original copy.

Good luck
