Original I-797 of the principal appilcant for H4 Visa

[fin.naresh@gmail.com]

Hi all,

murthy forum has always been helpful for so many people.

I am planning to send my wife for H4 Visa stamping.

my question is do I need to give her my original I-797A to her when she goes for the interview?

OR

a copy is fine?

I googled and I got both YES and NO. I am hoping whoever sent the original is just for safe side.

I contacted the customer care, but they don't sound like knowledgeable about this.

Does any one know about this from your recent experiences.

Thank you.

Having the original approval notice is not an absolute requirement since your information should be in PIMS.

Thank you Attorney_25 for your reply.

Original I-797 should always be with you.

Just send a good color copy of it and that's more than enough.
