Please share with me your experience especially, who had interview in Guangzhou, China.

Is I-134 must be original or it will be enough to print in color a scanned copy of it?

All signatures must be original. It always should be a wet signature.

All signatures must be original. It always should be a wet signature.

The I-134 instructions do not have the word "original" anywhere in them. A scanned copy is fine. Please note that the instructions for the I-134 do require you use black ink though, so don't use blue for it.

Edited to add: you can also double check the instructions the embassy provided you. I just read mine and it says photo copies are fine.

It is important to follow the instructions given to you by your consulate. China asks for forms with signature. They do not state copies are fine. http://ustraveldocs.com/cn/K1%20Instruction%20DS160%2020140711%28CN%29.pdf

Rule of thumb for all the immigration processes is, forms should always be original with signatures. Supporting documentation can be photocopies.

Please share with me your experience especially, who had interview in Guangzhou, China.

Is I-134 must be original or it will be enough to print in color a scanned copy of it?

1) If you are processing through GuangZhou, China,

you might consider changing your country to China so that it appears in China forum

so that other members that applying for visa from China can answer your questions.

2) Has other have gotten away with photocopies of I-134 and other forms? I'm sure many have.

But I think its always in your best interest to submit with original signature.

K1 processing is already long enough as is, and you do not want to risk having a hiccup

that can cause further delays...should they ask for original signature documents.

3) Your objective is to double-triple check everything, make several copies of your submission,

and bulletproof your submission as much as possible.
