Original birth certificate?

[Alyssa Marie 0]

When I sent the I-129F, I sent a copy (front and back) of my original birth certificate. I know I'm supposed to be sending the original to my fiance for his interview, but I misplaced it since I made a copy and I can't find it anywhere. At all. I tore my house apart. How important is it that I send the original one? I have another copy that I'm gonna have to send, but will it be a big deal?

I could be wrong....but I have never heard of needing the petitioners birth certificate at the interview. They certainly never asked me for it in London. I took a copy (i took a copy of everything) but was not asked for that, nor have I ever read that that is required at interview. Mine was 10months ago so perhaps it's changed....?

Can you share where you got the information that this is required. I am interested

Your birth certificate (USC) is not needed at the interview in London. Nor proof of your engagement/relationship. Nor your NOA2. Nor a copy of the I-129F petition.

Here's the list. It's all about him except for the Affidavit of Support/evidence of income from you.

From what I can see it is still the same as when I did mine.

Your fiance will take his birth certificate to the interview, along with his police certificate, passport and the appropriate forms and supporting documents.

All embassy's are different and as far as I am aware London does not ask for proof of ongoing relationship at that stage (though I took that also).

So I think that it's fine that you can't find your birth certificate...but you might want to get another copy of that for future use.

Good luck with everything!
