Marriage certificate and Birth certificate for AOS

[Amin&Ani 0]

I've received the marriage certificate. Should I send the original with the AOS package or just copies?

I've also have a translated birth certificate that was translated back home with Judiciary stamp on it (I used an exact replica for K-1 visa package), should I send a copy of the original or the actual one?

Thank you in advance for your replies

Don't send the USCIS anything original unless they specifically ask for it

thank you. and for birth certificate: should I sent the original translation(they are copies of the birth certificate that is translated and stamped by the Judiciary in home country)?

This is what it says on the I-485 Instructions:

Translations. Any document containing foreign language submitted to the Service shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreignlanguage into English.

It does not say to send an "original"... short of that word, it is OK to send a regular photocopies of your original document
