Is a Copy of the I129F Form absolutely necessary for k1 visa Interview?

[Vizaguy123 9]

So long story short, I lost my copies of my I129f form. I submitted them early 2020 and now in preparing for the interview for the visa, we don't think we're going to have it for presenting to the officers. What I want to know is: Will we be denied if we don't have a copy of our i129f?

The copy is for the beneficiary,  not the consulate

I know, but after doing some research (watbhhed a YouTube video and read an article on a website) they said I needed to present the copy of the i129f for the visa interview at the consulate. Is that not correct information or does it depend on the country?

YouTube and most websites are unreliable. So, no, it’s is not correct information.

It's not needed for the visa interview.

 

For Adjustment of status, do you at least have a scan or photocopy of it? https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-485.pdf "Attach a copy of the Form I-797 receipt or approval notice for the underlying petition or application, as appropriate."

I think he’s talking about a copy of the actual petition.

The copy of the I-129F package is for the beneficiary to review before the interview.

This refreshes the beneficiary's mind about what was submitted.

 

The copy of the I-129F form is what USCIS approved and sent to the consulate.

The consulate will have it.

Most if not all of the information on it is objective, such as names and dates.

The beneficiary will already know or will easily remember all that's on it.

As stated by others, it's not crucial or necessary to bring along.

Going forward, try not to lose crucial immigration-related documents.  It's kind of important to keep copies.

As others have said, you don't need the I-129F for the visa interview. However, if you really want it, you can request a copy by submitting a FOIA request to DoS here: https://foia.state.gov/Request/Visa.aspx.

 

Also, in the case of my fiance, the Embassy sent her a copy of the approved I-129F around when she scheduled her interview.

This.

 

Check your email (if you are the beneficiary).  My wife was sent the scanned copy of the I-129F by the embassy in the Packet 3 email.

Only a handful of consulates do this
