I know this has been asked before, but can't seem to find the posts.

Is sending a complete copy of the I-129F Petition to the beneficiary an absolute must for her interview, or only suggested?

Reason being, I just recently went through a move, and a box that contained a lot of my paperwork (important papers other than this to... gulp!) has gone missing. They moving company is looking for it, but there are no guarntees I will have it before the interview (if ever again).

I still have all the original proof that I had sent photo copies of in the petition though, just don't have the full petition photo copy at this time.

Will this, or could this be a problem?

P.S. I intend to fly to Rio and attened the interview with my fiance.

It's not a must in the sense that it's not required in either packet 3 or 4. Bring what you have and don't forget the original NOAs/RFE approvals you got, since the CO might ask to see them.

Yeah thanks Mew. I have all the original documents that I sent in support of the I-129F, just the photo copy of the entire petition is currently AWOL.

I wouldn't worry too much. There are some things in the guides that are not actually required by the consulate and I believe that not providing such documents or copies wouldn't give them grounds for denial.
