Post violating TOS has been removed and acceptable part of the post is returned here:

ATPEACE:

the last petitioner, I read Katheryn41 post, and she stated that it varies from consular to consular. I did not have to produce ANY documents at our interview and I went thru a carribbean consulars. If an orginal documents was needed it was indicated in the package 3 or 4. I won't tell you how to go thru the IRAN consular, but I can only give assitance to someone who is going thru a carribbean consular.

Please do not use this forum to address personal comments to other users about how they should and should not answer a question. This is an experiential forum and our combined experiences is what makes it useful. The immigration process DOES change and virtually no one at this point in time has any experience with an Haiti beneficiary since the earthquake devastated the country's infrastructure. It is not sufficient to say that a Caribbean Consulate in the past handled things in this way so all Caribbean Consulates today still handle things the same way. We know from proven experience that different Consulates even in the same part of the world handle things differently and it is not a 'one size fits all'. It is useful to know that is what happened in the past in a Caribbean Consulate and may indicate that the situation in this case will be the same - but it is not cut and dried.

In these cases it is best to refer back to the information provided by USCIS - and that is the information I quoted above - that the Government - USCIS and DOS - has the right at any time in the process to request to see originals of presented documents. It is better to be aware of these circumstances up front and to prepare for the eventuality, especially if preparations require additional effort or specific timing. If the eventuality does not occur - fine. If it does - then you are prepared.

WHOA Kathryn41, then you need to go back to the post I quoted and clean it up too. If you read any of my posts I told the OP if orginals are needed it would be indicated in their interview letter. I have stated repeately that if the orginal is needed it will be indicated in pkg 3 or 4 letter.

Now if its okay to make the statement that the TLP poster made that I quoted then maybe the TOS needs to be re-evaluated. All I stated to the OP was that that tone was not necessary to carry-on a conversation with me.

Thanks to all for your advisement.

Atpeace, you said that package 3 will tell me what they need. The petitioner sends that back to NVC, yes? If they need it they can have it. Otherwise it just doesn't seem wise to have originals floating around in a country where plenty of people would love to get their hands on a US birth cert.

Off I go.. have a great holiday everyone!
