About to submit I-130

[SAJA 0]

I am almost ready to send out I-130 for my wife. I know we are supposed to send in photocopies of everything and keep the originals. But what about the marriage certificate translation (notarized) and certification statement from the translator with his original signature? Should I send these two documents in their orginal form or the photocopy?

I would send photocopies of everything because when you go through NVC you will have to send all the Original documents...send the original translations to the NVC when its time. If you are doing in-country consular processing than I think you have to bring all original documents (and a photocopy of each) to the Interview.

What about sworn affidavits from third parties having personal knowledge of bona fides of marriage. Should I send in the originals or photocopies of these?
