You should have sent a certified copy with the petition, and they will have that petition, so sending another is not necessary.

But aren't you supposed to send a complete duplicate of the petition for the interview? That means sending all the documents again including the birth certificate right?

They suggest that you send copies of everything when the original petition is sent, and retain the originals to be available at the time of the interview, in case they are asked for. You wouldn't send the originals to the consulate, just to your fiance, in case they're needed. They rarely ask to see originals, but better safe than sorry.
