Question by SeekingAnswers: Can copies of the I-134 Affidavit of Support form be used for the fiancee interview in Moscow?
Any men brought a Russian Fiance to the US? Can copies of the I-134 form and supporting docs be used or are original required. I am asking specifically for Moscow, Russia, not other countries.

Rules are the same at all Embassies. If you have submitted the I-134 in good time, it will be in the packet sent by the USCIS to the Embassy. Therefore, a copy is not strictly necessary but it would do no harm to take one.
If the original has not yet been submitted to the Service Center in the USA, only the original will do.

Well, they prefer that you use the original, however, I understand that you probably submitted the original to INS when you were filing for your K-1 fiance visa. If you have copies of the originals along with the supporting documents (your tax returns, your w-2s, proof of residency (such as mail with your address) and other supporting documents) then you should be fine. I’m assuming your asking this question b/c you have an interview with INS here, not at the consulate in Russia. If your fiance is still in Russia and she is going to get interviewed at the consulate make sure she has all of this information already (Don’t worry copies are acceptable, make sure she tells them that the originals were already submitted to USCIS).
Good luck with everything!!
