Original BC for Petitioner reqd for DS230?

[Mystique 0]

This is weird. I called NVC and they said along with missing PCC (which I knew about), the guy said I'm missing original birth certificate of petitioner and original marriage certificate of petitioner.

First I'm like what do you mean original marriage certificate of petitioner, he said we received from beneficiary..I was like there is only one then he said oh yeah we will correct that.

But anyways, Why do they require Original Birth certificate of petitioner? Neither james shortcut or LOTO guide said it requires original BC of petitioner.

Was anybody required BC of petitioner as well ?

Do you have a co-sponsor? They do ask for BC of petitioner and co-sponsor, to prove relationships.

I recalled a Canadian VJ member was asked to submit original BC of petitioner.

NVC probably has a reason, if I were you, I would just mail it a.s.a.p.

No I do not have a co-sponsor. I really think NVC thinks me (petitioner) and my wife (beneficiary) has a different relationship and not husband wife, that's why both operators were like you need marriage certificate of petitioner as well. I'm like i'm petitioner and if you have marriage certificate sent by beneficiary its one as same as we're married. then the guy said oh yes, there would be only 1 in that case.

I dont know I will still send them the birth certificate even though it should not be required. I'm afraid since its my (petitioners') original birth certificate whether they will courier it to embassy in India and beneficiary will get my originals back at time of interview.
