I submitted my I-129f and I completely forgot to make copies of the original application.

How bad is this and is there a way to rectify it?

It's definitely good to have a duplicate copy...is there a way that you can "re-create" the packet? Might be a lot of work, but it's probably worth it...

I'm sure you'll be ok. We never needed our copies. It's probably good to have incase you get an RFE...but if you can regenerate the docs easily, I wouldn't worry.

As Nicole said, you probably won't need the copies...and you can always send the regenerated copies for signatures without too much problem...

Copies you usually make for yourself. The government workers can lose them or the documents might not reach the embassy and so on. But for the future, you'd better make copies of all documents you fill. Good luck to you!

Best practice is to make two full copies. One for your reference and one for the beneficiary's reference and study guide for interview preparation. In case anything goes missing between submission and interview, the beneficiary is wise to carry their copy to the interview, so anything missing can be replaced.

Your electronic copies without signature will do fine for that. You have them backed up, right?

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
