Certified copy or simple copy of documents?

[newlyweds2010 208]

I was wondering if all non original documents that I'm going to bring to the interview have to be certified copies or can also be simple copies (in specific the USC birth certificate). Can I use form FC-029 to avoid having them certified? Who's going to sign that form, the interviewed or the petitioner?

It's usually best to bring "originals" with you - however they should all ready have copies of items you sent prior with the petition/application.

The FC-029 just tells them you can produce originals if you need to - but what happens if your at the interview and they ask for the originals?

With that being said, you shouldn't need the original USC birth certificate at the K-1 interview.

Did the embassy your going through specifically ask for it?

no, they want a certified copy of it, but my fiancee has her BC at her grandparents' house (in another State) and it will take a while to have a certified copy sent over here. she has a simple copy with herself, but I guess it won't be enough.
