NVC forms needed

[lgg 2]

do I also need to ensure that I have the same original documents at the interview?

Let's say, for example, they ask me to send my original long form birth certificate and I do, am I then required to bring ANOTHER original to the interview with me? Or is it okay if I just bring photocopies of the items I've already sent and then bring the originals that they've asked me to bring along to the interview with me but not to mail?

While having all the original documents already, I don't have double original copies of a couple of things as frankly? It costs a lot of money to get originals and I thought we'd only need one original copy of each. We do have some double as in our marriage cert and stuff but not all of them. I just got my police clearance and paid the extra money for a double just to be on the safe side but I realize now, that I only have one original long form birth certificate...

Your insight is helpful...

Best,

they have your sent in originals at interview, just be sure to ask them for your originals back after interview

The NVC will forward all documents including the originals to the embassy. After the interview, you can request to have all originals back.

Ah.

So then you're saying I don't have to bring in the originals of the same stuff I sent then?

If so, that's helpful. And thank you.

Hi lgg!

On the letter that NVC sends, with your interview letter, it does say you need to bring another copy of the originals - but, for Montreal, really it's not required - because, as I read it, what they are really saying is that if you sent a 'copy' (as in photocopy) to NVC, the CO will want to see an original.

In fact, you should receive your marriage certificate and your birth certificate back, at the interview (or sometimes they mail it in the expresspost envelope) - the only original they keep is the police certificate.

Hi Trailmix...

IT's what I thought. We're going to bring a copy of the entire package and they'll have all the originals that they requested. If they hadn't requested an original to be sent, I'll bring the original (plus its copy) with me along with a copy of the entire package. I'm going to board the train looking like a law clerk or something.

I hope this is correct. And thanks, TM... you're input is always the key for me.

Hope you're well...

LGG.

No you will not need to bring originals to interview once submitted to NVC.

however, do remember to ask for them back.
