Send copies & orignals? (spousal visa - no appointment)

My experience with US immigration left me over cautious.  They got peeved if you didn't have the orignal plus a copy of everything.

My question is this:  when I send off my nicely organized binder of proof associated with my spousal visa application, do I need to enclose a copy of each original? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I did.......at least that saves some time (them running to the copier )

Don't send more than you have to.  If they ask, send it.  If they don't ask, don't. 

that's just it, they don't ask specifically for copies...whereas with the US not only do they ask for copies, you have to sign a form stating that they are true and unaltered copies...

so, no?

If they wanted copies, they'd say they wanted them.  So, no need to send copies.   

In my experience, Kristi is right.  I sent a nice neat set of originals only, with a cover letter listing what they were.  No problem.

thanks guys.  knock on wood this is, by far, easier than uk-to-us. 

It's a whole lot easier than getting a UK driver's license too.

In my experience, Kristi is right. 

Ahhh.. music to my ears.  Those three little words.. "Kristi is right".  LOL!

Hi Trillian,

You probably have already seen this but this will probably put your mind a little more at ease .  I have been freaking out thinking about the spousal visa process and after reading this thread I personally feel a WHOLE lot better.
