Original documents (e.i., marriage certificate and birth certificate) are required by NVC, right?

Ok, I can send them notarized translation, but when we had consultation with lawyer (my husband wanted to use him for process), the lawyer said USCIS do not need notorized translation.

So, I think we've made right decision do not use lawyer..

So how about NVC?? I don't really want to send them originals. And quastion: is it Ok for them Ukrainian notary or they would like American?

If you don't want to send originals to NVC, you can send them 'Certified True Copy' + one set photocopy of the documents. Then you can produce the originals at the interview.

Document Collection

All of the following documents and information will be required during the course of Immigration Process. Not every document below is required for each application, however they will all be required over the span of the entire process.

Original documents should never be submitted to USCIS, however originals should be presented at all personal interviews. All foreign language documents must be translated and certified as valid English translations. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator that states that the:

Translation is accurate, and

Translator is competent to translate.

The NVC requires documents as original or certified copy. Certified copies are copies certified by issuing agency and not by a notary. Sometimes it is easy to request duplicate original from issuing agency then having certified by them.

Your foreign spouse may required to show original documents at a time of interview.
