Scanned letter is fine. Plenty of us have used scanned documents and have been approved. I assume you received the RFE because you didn't include the letter of intent initially? And not because there was some issue with the original letter?

yes I didn't include the letter of intent for my fiance, I only sent one that I signed and it looks like they need one that my fiance signed who is in Malaysia. hopefully they won't ask original letter if I send scanned letter. I am just scared that they would ask the original letter and not scanned one.

Mine was scanned as well, and I did not receive an RFE. If they need original documents at interview you can provide them there. Good luck!

The total amount of days from the date I mailed in our K1 Visa application to the day my fiancé stepped foot into the USA:

1 year, 3 months and 8 days.

The amount of days from the date we mailed in our AOS to the date everything was approved (after 3 RFEs):

7 months & 5 days

Which makes our journey a total of:

2 years, 3 months, and 8 days

I did use scanned documents for my now wife but nothign that needed a signature. Anything that needed a signture I made sure it was the original signature itself. For me, I'd rather wait a little for mail to arrive vs. getting another RFE back. I played it safe but my process to bring my fiance over went very smoothly and extremely quick. Good Luck!

Well, all depwnt from the officer who work on the case, but original signature is needed,

If i were you i send original, because this time you arent going to get a new rfe for this, if they dont like the scanned letter they will deny you.

So dont take the risk and send original.

That's true. Since you already got an RFE it's better to be on the safe side and go with the wet signature.
