We are preparing our documetns to bring to the interview and are wondering...

Do we need to bring a certified copy of our marriage certificate or is the original sufficient?

Many thanks!

I would take both, you never know what they are going to keep when you go. They had my husbands police report, but she took a copy of the one we brought with us ?!?!?!?!?! Didin't understand why, but I wouldn't risk loosing my Original Marriage Cert.

Here in VA they don't even give you the original marriage certificate. The Court House issues only certified copies-as many as you need-and they keep the original.

I would say the copy of the marriage certificate is enough. That's what I did for the interview and I had no problems, actually the IO didn't even ask me about it.
