Does The Embassy Need Origional Copies

[InquimmwFraserYo 25]

Does the embassy ask for original copies of items requested by the petitioner? Like the Affidavit and tax reports...etc

 

Thank you

Yes they ask,  it should be listed in the packet.  Items like Birth certificates are originals.  The I-134 and tax transcripts can be copies.  If you want an original back take a copy to leave with them.  But they will want to touch the originals.

My embassy does not ask for the petitioner's BC. Mine will obviously be an original since I have it on hand. Anything that I can get as an original, I will get as that.

 

I'm just worried they might ask for some original documents of my fiance which is in the US, so if they do i can tell her to mail them to me ASAP

If it (originals) was needed it would have been asked for by USCIS for the petitioner.  If you have a copy of the petition you can take it with you incase they can't quickly find something.

As mentioned above, take whatever was asked from you on that list, I dealt with US embassy Jerusalem for years but for a different case than yours, and don't be surprised if they ask you for something that wasn't mentioned on the list, again that happened to me, be prepared and you will be just fine.
