Co-Sponsor + Original documents

[vemo 0]

Hi!!

I have some questions about if do I have to bring the original documents to support the I-134 form? Like the W-2 forms and 1040? The bank letters and the job letter?

And will I need my fiance's birth certificate in original?

I just don´t know if it is secure to send those kind of documents by mail.

My interview is in Venezuela.

Thanks you!

The IRS has the original 1040. No one has access to his/her original 1040 after filing his/her tax return.

It's possible to have other originals of the W-2s since an employer usually send at least three W-2s (one for federal filing, one for state or local filing, and one copy for the employee).

Have you considered getting a free tax transcript and sending that in lieu of a complete copy of the tax return?

If you don't want to send it through the mail, then send it with UPS, DHL, or Fed-Ex with a signature confirmation. While none of them can claim to never have lost a package, it is probably more secure than having the mail go through the US Postal Service and the Venezuelan postal service.

My fiance had her interview in Caracas today.....AND WE WERE APPROVED For your questions, she had copies of the 1040 with W2's for the last three years and Tax transcripts also, you can call IRS and they will mail them to

you, NO CHARGE, they took 2011 and 2010. She had bank letters, original and copy but did not look at them.She had the job letter, original and copy, looked at it but did not take. She had an original and copy of my Birth Certificate but they did not look at it.

Of the things other than the official forms, they only wanted copies not the originals of what they kept.

All I can say is have originals when you can and copies of anything your can think of, better to have to much than not enough. My fiance said it looks like they ask for different things from each person.

As far as mailing things, I have sent her things many times with DHL with no problems, its a little spendy but I think All companies are.

BEST OF LUCK IN THIS NEXT BIG STEP IN YOUR JOURNEY.....WHEN YOU HEAR..."YOU ARE APPROVED"....ALL WILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!
