Two Copies of AOS filing package?

[CaroLeh 15]

Hi,

 

I've read that it is recommended to make two copies of the AOS filing package (including checks etc). Why two? I can understand one copy to have as records (+ all the originals), but why are two copies needed? Will they actually look at those during the interview?!

Once copy is only for you. The other copy is that you sent with your application. You don`t need to take two copies to interview.

I kept one copy of all the documents I sent in for my own records.  That should be plenty.

Thanks! That's what I thought too. Someone might want to change this then.

 

"IMPORTANT!
Make TWO copies of the entire package before you send it in. This includes the money orders too. You want to have a perfect replica of the package you are sending in. All Forms that you submit must be originals with original signatures. Supporting Evidence that you submit may be photocopies. Retain ALL original supporting Evidence since the USCIS has the right to check them by issuing an RFE (Request For Evidence). If you receive an RFE, follow the direction exactly, and make two copies of what you sent back. During any future interviews the USCIS may also want to examine the original supporting evidence."

There is ALOT of updating needed in the guides.  Not sure why it's not being done.

I really don't see the problem with this, when you "print" something your computer will ask you how many copies you want, you just make 2...I mean you have 2 copies, send one and keep one...I personally didn't understand that as an advise to keep 2 copies.
