two exact copies for the K1 petition???

[beck26 1]

is it really necessary to make 2 copies of your K1 petition? for what purpose?...wont the immigration send the original petition to the beneficiary's country if they will make an interview? im sorry to ask these simple stuffs, we're just starting on our K1 process.

the reason i'm asking this is becoz my girlfriend needs to fly back too early (she's the US citizen) that's why we only got time to create a single petition. ( i mean, she stayed here for a month but we enjoyed hanging out everyday we only got time to focus on the petition for 4 days...also collecting the receipts and other stuffs really will take your time)

or is it OK if we just scan/xerox all the original petition before sending it out?

thank you so much.

It is recommended to make two copies because in case that the one you send get lost in the mail, then you can resend another one quickly. It is unlikely to happen but it has happened for some people before.

We didn't make two copies, but we did make copies of things that need my original signatures, the forms and the letter of intent. Everything else we could just print them out again if we'd needed it.

So I suggest you make a couple copies of things that need your fiancee's signature on it, just in case.

Also make sure to send the packet with delivery confirmation and tracking. It will give you a peace of mind while waiting for NOA1.

we do have copies of everything...she just haven't been able to bring it to US (we complied the petition here in the Philippines) because we have no time to compile another one...so basically if it got lost i have to mail her another copy of the signed ones. you have been a big help especially the advise on the delivery confirmation and tracking...thank you very much.

PS: which delivery company should we trust the most in handling our petition?

We just sent it with USPS with delivery confirmation. It's good and fast enough, you can track it online.

Same here..

OP>.

after my I-129F was complete..

i went to KINKOs and we xeroxed two sets... i have one.. and she took the other to Venezuela..

1st set was mail with USPS

but looking back.. we should have done another set or two of forms with originals.. just in case.. but when i send stuff to here for the interview..

i will send at least 2 sets separately.. just to make sure she get at least one!!

becks.. its all we had.. the only thing "original" was I-129F and the 2 G-325's.. like i said, maybe we should have done 3 sets.. all we did was PRINT the forms out after filled out on PDF.. so getting the signatures not big deal..

ooh and the passport pics she also took the spare set we made.... ooh.. and the letters of intent, and what ever else i signed.. i think there was one more

i guess i will find out in a few months
