Dear fellow VJers,

At the embassy interview, do you give the CO copies or originals of the Boarding Passes, Reciepts, ect...

I worry if I were to give them the original Boarding Passes and Receipts, and for some reason the visa is not approved, then they might keep the originals with them and I am left with no original Boarding Passes and Receipts that I might need for a second round at the finace visa process.

Thanks

I believe copies are a good choice. No originals needed to hand in to the CO. Good luck! :thumbs:

Bring copies, but the CO will want to see the original birth certificate and translations. At least, she asked my wife (then fiancee) for hers whenshe interviewed for her K-1. My wife provided the CO with copies and the CO just wanted to see the originals for a few minutes. The CO kept some copies and she returned the originals back to my wife.

I have not been interviewed yet but i believe they will not take the originals unless it's really necessary. but they do have the right to request for them. so to be safe, it's better you bring them along during your interview coz failure to present them when requested could hurt your chance of getting approved. but of course, it's all up to you. Good luck!

At the interview stage if they ask you for the evidence, they are asking for proof, so giving them copies is just asking for trouble at that stage, I think. If you get denied your Visa those old originals are not going to do you any good, and you'ld be better off making new originals for whatever your next steps will be.

You can always ask then if they'll take the copies and give you back the originals.

Good luck!

Agree for receipts and such. Make sure you bring originals for all documents where instructions require them. Good Luck!!

YMMV

Just copies are all you need. If they ask for originals you can show them then.
