Hi Guys,

I am just wondering if it is necessary to send original required docs of applicants/petitioner to the NVC? Please advise. Many thanks for any responses.

Have a great weekend :)

Send the originals to NVC. You will get it back after your interview. Make sure you request it from the CO after the interview

They should not deny if we send the original and a copy with DS-230. Did you send a copy too!

NVC requires the originals of the Birth Certficate of the beneficiary, Police Clearance Certificate/s and Marraige Certificates with DS-230.

Sorry, if you are confused. Let me make this simple.

We can send either original or a certified copy of the original.

If we send the original, we also need to enclose a copy of the original, so that the original is returned at interview.

If we send a certfied copy of original then there is no need to enclose a copy and the certified copy will not be returned.

Thanks Nayvk, I clearly understand now.

I sent a certified copy with a additional photocopy but one of my photocopy didn't show a director signature because a certified document is a little bit longer than plain A4 paper. I didn't know until I just look at agian. Hope i don't get RFE.
