How many copies of the I-918B are required?

It is important to clarify that, for the U visa, Form I-918B – used as the certification that you were a victim of certain crimes – must be submitted in its original form. That is, only one original copy, duly signed and issued by the competent authority, should be sent, without additional copies. Always remember that, although it is useful to keep a copy for your personal records, USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) requires only the original copy. A special care when preparing your petition is to strictly follow the official instructions from the United States government for collecting and sending documents. USCIS guidelines indicate, for example, that forms requiring original signatures – such as the I-918B – cannot be replaced by copies or scanned versions. Furthermore, attention should be given to ensure that documents remain within the required standards, thus avoiding delays or complications in your process. It is worth highlighting the importance of following U.S. immigration laws and seeking reliable information directly from official sources or specialized consultants. There are many offers and marketing campaigns promising miraculous solutions or approval guarantees, but it is essential to be cautious and verify the truthfulness of the services you hire. Bearing this in mind, I inform you that, in the context of the U visa, the submission must include only the original copy of Form I-918B and not multiple copies. I hope this information has clarified your question. Stay well informed and always check the updated USCIS instructions so that your process runs correctly and sustainably.
