That means that the original document has been received by the NVC. You should still bring copies of everything you sent the NVC just in case they don't forward the entire case to the embassy or the embassy misplaces anything during your interview. They're all human and prone to make mistakes from time to time.

The only extra documents that they requested from my husband were a copy of his parents' marriage certicate and baptismal certificate, which are now optinal. He still brought them to the interview, they read them and gave them back.

[Ken y Leidys 20]

Leidys was quoted $750K COP for vaccines in Barranquilla. What did everyone here pay recently? She is trying to find a lower price...
