How important and copies

[geocolorado 0]

This may be a stupid question, but I have a feeling that my fiance and I have done something very stupid, which would mean that we would not make very good lawyers and delay our application: we were so excited to send out our K-1 visa application off that we forgot to make copies of everything. I know that this could come back to haunt us but if all goes well is there any reason that we absolutely do need copies of our documents. Also if we need to get copies does any one know if it is possible to get the UCSIS to send us one or should we start the whole application process again??

Your thouhts are appreciated.

It's not mandatory to make copies. But it is recommended if your petition got lost. I don't think USCIS will send you a copy of what you have submitted considering how many petitions they receive. Just keep your fingers crossed that it will proceed onto the consulate and everything is there for the interview. On the other hand, you should have all the original things like the birth certificate, evidence of meeting, etc., right? If the worse happens, you will have to re-assemble and submit another petition with all the evidence of meeting, etc.

Thanks for your help. I was just concernced when I read Visajouney's "What to send you fiance once the I-129 is approved" on http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1guide. They say to send her a copy of the entire I-129 package. I am not sure if this is visajourney going over the top or whether it is actually something that she will need.

I too was so stressed and excited to send in the application that I forgot to make copies. We haveour NOA2 and are now waiting for packet 3. I asked the same question and most said it will probably be alright. Don't stress and good luck!

Don't worry about it! hehe, me and my fiance didn't make copies and I'm in the USofA now, so don't worry, you'll be fine!

The thing you need to be aware of now, is that the information that you used to put together for your package could have been useful to your fiancee for the interview, things like your biographic information, and what you stated about how you two met and all, so that both of your stories are the same.

You don't have to worry about it.

However, while you're waiting for your NOA2 you can fill out the forms and keep them (as if they were copies). You can also print out any e-mails you may have sent and make copies of the originals to keep and/or send a copy to your fiance.
