What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

What exactly does Point no. 2 mean? All the originals were sent to USCIS while applying for I-129F. How can we have the originals with us?

Someone please help and clarify!! Thanks!!!

I think you will notice in the listing above that area it shows what to send with the I129-F when applying and in the Documentary proof area the word "copy" is used frequently. In those cases where you sent copies, if possible, you should now send her the originals (I would keep copies in case they are lost in the mail). I will also send an original of my birth certificate, etc. I would rather be safe than sorry and send more than necessary. Below is the extract of what they recommend you send when you filed, notice the word "copy." Such as copies of telephone bills...now I would send the originals. Hope this helps.

Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship:

Use as many of these items are possible. There is no minimum,

but the more you can provide the less likely you are that you will receive an RFE. 1. Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps (make sure you can read the dates on the stamps), and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. You may want to highlight or place post-it notes indicating the dates and locations on the copies (to make the adjudication easier) for the person reviewing your file.

2. Color Photo's of you and your fiance(e) together. Make sure you write your names, date, and location on the back of every photo. Provide two to five photo's. If you only have a single copy of the photo, then make a color copy and send that. If it is a digital photo, have it printed at a company such as kodakgallery.com. You can also make duplicates of photo's at your local photo store (Walgreeens, CVS, etc). Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet. Note that you may not receive originals of photo's back.

3. The following items will not typically show proof of having met in the last two years however will show proof of an ongoing relationship: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

You mean you mailed the originals in with your petiton?? Like your birth certificate and your passport, etc???

Did you make more than one copy of each photograph you sent in or did you send away your only copies?

never ever ever send in originals (other than the actual forms). To USCIS I mean. However, since the cow is already out of the barn on that one, not sure what else you will send to your fiance, other than evidence that has been generated since you submitted the original petition.
