H4 - Dropbox questions

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm on H1B and my petition got extended this year and so for my spouse. I received following docs,
Doc 1 - original I-797 (I129 petition for a nonimmigrant worker) for H1B Class
Doc 2 - original I-797 (I539 application to extend nonimmigrant status) for H4 class

She is in India right now and eligible for drop box interview waiver program (PFA).

My questions are

1. As mentioned in the attachment, IWP is asking only the copy of primary applicants i797 and Visa Copy.
    Do I need to drop Doc 1 or Doc 2 or both? originals or photocopy?
    Its already mentioned photocopy in the attachment but just need confirmation because I checked with my employer and he was not sure.

2. Where do I drop these docs? OFC center or consulate center?

3. I know documents needs to drop in 'drop box' package and seal the package. 
    In consulate/OFC will be any separate package for each applicant? 
    Will be any one assist in consulate/OFC while drop in case of any issues?

1. Take both the docs (original and copy). The drop box guys will take whatever they need. and return the rest.

2. OFC center.

3. No sealed packages. The OFC representative will be able to assist.
