Hi everyone. OK I made a dumbass move and forgot to mail in the second page of my I-130. So they returned it with a blue page/letter that said it (application) was incomplete. On the letter, they said, "the original petition/application must be filed out completely in order to adjudicate your case." So now to my question... are they asking me to send in the original forms completed? Or to just complete the original and mail in the copy? What I got from the visajourney guide is that I can mail in copies; so I mailed in copies, though they were incomplete. So copies or originals?

You need to mail the originals of any application forms that you submit to USCIS, basically for any pdf that you downloaded from their website and filled up you need to mail the originals, make a copies of those retain those COPIES to yourself.

as for other forms that you are submitting (forms that belong to you), for example marriage licence, birth certificate and such you would make a copy of those and mail the COPIES and keep the originals to yourself

ALL signatures submitted must be originals as well. Don't forget when you fill out your G-325A (all four pages with original signature for each set -- one set for the petitioner and one set for the beneficiary).

All USCIS forms must be originals, with original signatures. We received an RFE because we sent photocopies of our G-325A's and they needed original signatures on all 4 copies for both of us.
