Hello, I am about to mail my i-129f packet and my question is do I send original supporting documents are copies. Thanks and sorry if this has been asked.

NEVER send original documentation.  You always send copies.  Then, you keep the originals to brin to any applicable interviews, etc.

The only "original" I ever sent was our marriage license/certificate for the AOS.  BUT, it was because we paid for multiple original copies.

Never send original marriage certificates either. USCIS does not want them and if it decides it does not want the joh of safeguarding such a document for a 100 years, it will send it back, thus delaying the case.

"Original copy" is a bit of an oxymoron. There can only be one original; official reproductions of an original are certified copies.

Hence, why I use the quotations.

Two quarters minted in the same year with the same head and tail, from a common die are each originals, not copies. Send me your loose change if you think otherwise.

there is  a chatter about uscis want the original divorce decree and not a copy be given to them.

 

Why listen to chatter when the official USCIS website explicitly states NOT to send originals when filing forms by mail?  https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail
