Originals Lost in the Mail

[gators6 0]

I am afraid that the "original copies" documents/photos/relationship evidence and supporting evidence package that I sent to my fiancee may be lost in the mail. I have just a couple of weeks left before her interview date and need to know what to do. I have made copies of everything and I can get new original support dodcuments by next week. I plan to call the embassy and explain what the situation is. Does anyone have any advice or a similar experiecne. Will the embassy accept these copies?

Use a reliable service like Fed-EX. You can track the package pick-up to dilivery. I have used Fed-EX many times and have never heard of packages getting lost by them.

(Please let us know more about you, fill in the blanks of your profile like where are you and where is your fiance it helps others)

Ok first of all depends what docs did the embassy specificaly mentioned in the interview letter. If there are the documents like original birth certificate, divorce decrees then they wont issue the visa but they might have an interview. the maximum thing they would do is to give you sometime period to provide you the docs. now if the docs are related to evidance of ralationship things then it wont be much matter since they already know what is going on between you. rest the matter of I-134 i guess thats the crtical issue. they might need original i-134 and realted docs. espacialy tax returns. the copies of job letters, pay stubs etc can work but not the tax returns. you gotta give the certified copies if i am not wrong.

It's best to check with the consulate/embassy on which documents they want originals of. There's been cases they've allowed people to have their interviews and submit one or two documents later - but that varies from country to country. Better to be safe than sorry.
