VJer's I need your advice. :blush:

I'm compiling an RFE packet, and I need to send documentation in support of info in the affidavits and also correcting mistakes i made in the I-130 packet.

My question is should I send in the original documents? I will be sending in photocopies of the pages of our passports, so they're not getting the originals of those, but what about the other doc's like bank statements, tickets, tenancy agreetment etc.

any ideas? :unsure:

We sent photocopies of everything...no originals, but we have them available if they request to see tham at the interview.

Unless they specifically asked for originals, send copies...you really should keep originals for your records as you will not get this stuff back...and if it gets lost in the post or misplaced along its way you may need to resubmit it!

07/16/07 posted I-129f

07/20/07 confirmed delivered by US Postal Service

8/23/07 No NOA1 !!!!

8/23/07 phoned USCIS (told they can't help until after 90 days)

8/23/07 contacted bank to get copy of Cx check...illegable...noc WAC#

tried for weeks to get actual check....not possible, had to wait the 90 days for info from USCIS

10/17/07 Phoned USCIS, got thru (!), got WAC number and NOA1 date!!!!

07/26/07 NOA1 (never recieved hard copy, was promised a copy would be sent)

11/01/07 Ordered copy of "long form" UK B.C.

11/05/07 Recieved B.C. (Wish USCIS was that fast!)

11/09/07 Submitted request for UK police records

12/04/07 APPROVED By USCIS NOA2 letter sent (or so they claim)

12/15/07 Police certificate recieved

12/28/07 Called NVC, not in system

01/04/08 petition forwarded to London

01/12/08 packet 3 received *rubs eye in disbelief* Speed and efficiency, can it be?

01/18/08 HARD COPY OF NOA2 ARRIVED...seems the snail made a wrong turn somewhere.

01/28/08 Returned packet 3 to London Embassy

02/12/08 Medical completed...no problem.

02/13/08 Packet 4 received from London Embassy

03/03/08 Embassy Interview

03/06/08 Visa Arrived....Lovely to finally see it even if it is a bit drab...after 8 month you think they'd have sprung for some gold foil or at least a COLOR photo?

TODAY...he's here! He's in the US! Hurrah!

Thanks for the quick reply, I thought it was copies, just checking to make sure.

Yes, it's a lot more reasonable than the UK process where we had to send original docs, and our passports, which they had for months!

thanks again :thumbs::thumbs:
