How to use Passport as evidence.

[Danno 1,228]

When applying for a K-1, I submitted a copy of my passport and the Visa which shows my dates of travel as primary evidence, apparently it worked out because it was approved and sent on to the embassy ... (well it's on it's way.)

My main question is, will they require a notarized copy, because the one I sent was not with my orig documents was not notarized.

Since copies are all that is required when filling the 325, that was all I sent but at the interview they will want to see "the real thing" on things such a birth certificates etc.

I am reluctant to send my passport so she will have the actual "item", at the interview, should I get a notarized copy?

I would hate for her to get rejected for "failing to show evidence" because we only produce a "copy" of the visa which documents my travel dates.

Other than that we also produced photos together and train tickets from a second trip.

I believe the only thing that has to be notarized is the I-134.

Just like Zee said the only thing you need is the I-134 notarized. I sunt my fiance copies of everything else and they was not notarized. They granted his visa and he pick up his visa today.

I agree with Zee. If you want to provide additional evidence besideds the copy of your passport you can send her the original boarding passes and/or airplane tickets.

You can send the original I-134 but do not send your passport. If you made a copy of it for the I-129 the embassy will have that

In a few reported cases the VO did desire a notarized copy of the passport in China. This was even needed when the actual passport was before them . Who knows why at times they desire it.

Only I-134 has to be notarized. you need not notarize other documents.

Thanks for the replies but I am a little confused, of course the I-134 is required to be notarized as proof that you really signed it.

My question has to do with "Evidence of our meeting".

When the first document is filed.. the 1-129, it states "copies" of documents are okay but ACTUAL documents will be needed at the interview. If copies were enough from start to finish you can imagine how easy it would be to claim anything.

I sent a copy of my passport with the visa page with indicates I was in her country at the time we had a meeting.

How will they verify this if I do not furnish the actual document (passport with visa stamp) or notorized copy at the interview (when other *actual*...not copies are presented)?

I think you're confusing "required" documents with "evidence of meeting" material. Your passport is not a required document. It was only something you used to show evidence of meeting. Required documents your fiancee will need are a Birth Certificate, Police Certificate, and Divorce decree if applicable. We sent copies of my wifes Birth Certificate and Divorce Decree with the 129F, but she needed the original documents at the interview. The only original document I gave her for the interview was the notarized I-134. Attached is a link to the U.S. Embassy in Russia. It tells you exactly what documents will be needed at the interview. If an original document is required it specifically states original document. ]
