Hello:

My finance came through O'hare airport last night. Praise God, for safe arrival, but they kept her documents and didn't just go

with the visa. This included her original bi rth certificate. Are they supposed to do this. Can we get back the originals? Has this ever happened to anyone?

Thanks, in advance for any input;

Rob & Jel

Generally they take the envelope that was given to her along with her passport. It contains all the documents you submitted to USCIS. The original birth certificate should not have been in that submission.

At your AOS interview you may be able to get it back.

Does your fiance have the translated one? They probably took the original if she doesn't have the translated one. I might be missed out some threads over here, but I never read people work at POE kept the original of birth certificate. What did your fiance say when they keep hers?

You mean all the stuff that was in the big envelope she wasn't allowed to open? Yes they keep all that. It's part of her immigration file and she may see it again at AOS, ROC and naturalisation, but she'll never get it back.
