w2 and other forms for the interview

[ch1ch1 0]

hi, all:

i've seen some similar topics on this forum before, but i didn't see the exact thing i'm looking for (searching function doesn't allow me search for "w2"), so i apologize for the dups if there is already one out there.

my fiancee in China is wondering if she needs my original copies of W2 forms for the interview. right now she's waiting for her p4 and she's trying to gather as much documents as she can. i've already sent her *copies* of all my legal documents, W2, citizenship, financial information, etc. are copies of them enough for the consulate? is the consulate really gonna bother to question the validity of all those copied docs and ask for the original ones?

for those who's passed interview, what kind of originals have you been asked for?

in order to be sure the docs get to her, i actually took a week of vacation and flew to China and handed the package to her myself. now if i really need to mail the originals to her, i'm worried that the mail could get lost. what would i do if it really got lost on the way?

thank you all for reading and replying.

I delt with Guangzhou last February.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.
  
• Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS
  
• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years
  
• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.
  
• Photo copies of past 6 months pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.
  

Photo copies are fine.

Now that you are at this point I Highly recommend joining CFL, that site specializes in that specific consulate.

OK, as long as that's all you did, fine. No hanky panky, right?

Copies are fine. The only original I left with my wife was the certified copies of birth certificate and divorce decrees. Unless there's a reason to question the documents, copies are fine for your stuff but not for hers.

No go here and make sure she's prepared for the interview. http://www.candleforlove.com
