I-134 in duplicate

[JSWashburn 0]

According to the I-134 form, there is a section called "Supporting Evidence". Under it reads.

"You must submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as appropriate:"

It includes items such as a statement from an officer of bank and statement of employment.

So does this mean I need two original copies of each now? Two signed letters from work, two signed letters from my bank? Or can one be original and one by a copy?

I have not noticed that one word until you pointed it out. I have never heard of a member mentioning having to send evidence in duplicate and have not read of a 221(g) issued by an Embassy/Consulate for not having the information in duplicate.

I think you could be right about one copy and take an original. You should submit one set of copies of all evidence such as pay stubs, tax forms or tax transcripts, letter of employment etc... Then you should give your fiance(e) the originals for the interview at the Embassy. Then if and only if the CO wants to see the originals she is prepared. She should ask for the originals to be returned to her.

I do not see any reason to submit duplicates of all the evidence. IMO (of course)

I agree - I went at the time of interview and I took all originals and had copies of everything also. The copies were submitted first and if they wanted the originals they were then provided upon request.
