K1 visa affidavit of support??!

[US&TN 55]

Hi everyone I know this question may been asked million time but I still wanna get a piece of mind well my interview is gonna be in two days I have all my documents prepared already except the I-134 , letter of intent to marry and employment letter I only have scanned copies not originals my fiance shipped it with FedEx and it's gonna be here on Monday that's mean 4 days after my interview.  Is there any problem with bringing scanned copies and if they ask for originals I can mail it to them the same day the shipment arrive? Are we gonna be in a long AP wait line for that ? Any one have an idea please or been in a similar situation? 

Any help is appreciated

Scanned copies are generally accepted. I have not seen a refusal for originals in recent years.

 

"Long" AP is relative. Usually missing documents causes a delay on the scale of weeks. Some people are in AP (for other reasons, usually background checks) for a year or years.

Are you saying we can be under AP for that ?

Can? Yes. Anybody is subject to extended background checks. If it's not the norm for your profession and country, then it's unlikely. Nobody knows exactly what triggers extended background checks (it's a black box), but there are often certain things in common like certain STEM professions, resident countries, travel history, etc.

I'm not talking about the background checks I'm asking if we can get an AP because we have scanned copies instead of originals?

The CO can request originals for anything. They just have not done so for an I-134 (or I-864) in at least a couple years.

you will be in AP like all others while the embassy does the security check on the information on the new ds 160 form

and high fraud countries can and do ask for documents not needed in "say" European countries

to answer that question  "they can ask for originals"  / they can ask for anything they want at any time

some have been sent an email after the interview to send documents to the embassy / Derik from Morocco was

 

need to see this site and understand 

in June only 6 K1's and in July only 5 approved in Tunisia

 

Look under NIV and the month and  post and visa class

understand it is up to the tunisian at this point to know everything about the USC to prove the relationship is real

be calm

answer honestly

be confident

be prepared for stupid questions
