Will the original docs we sent to the USCIS be returned to us at the time of interview, in addition to the original docs we sent to the NVC?

You can request from USCIS for return of original document (s) by filing G-884 (no fee).

If it was not require by USCIS and you submitted the original document (s), retain by them as a part of record.

You can request the original document (s) from the service center where you submitted it.

I was told if they ask for the original or certified copy try and send in a certified copy and attach a statement

that says your spouse will bring the originals to the interview.

Someone please tell me if this is right or not.

I would also like to know the right answer.

Thank you.

I was told you are suppose to receive your original documents at the interview. If they don't return them to you then you should ask for them before leaving the Embassy.

I sure hope we get our originals plus the photographs. I suppose it differs from one embassy to another then?

On a related note, is it OK to blot out some parts of chats and emails? What if it's very private?

LMAO!!!

I'd probably do that and as a side note the word "Private" with an arrow drawn towards the marked out words or just don't use that specific email. If you don't mark it out, maybe the interviewer or whoever's handling your case might enjoy your romance novel and just grant you your approval. Actually I'd probably leave it just to see what their facial expressions would be lol!

I dunno... romantic is OK I guess, but what if the flirting was very... uh, intimate? :D I've found it's hard to sort out the "safe" mails and chats sometimes. LOL

Well I don't think they care if it is intimate or not.
