Original Documents for Embassy Interview

[Charles C 0]

Two questions about the original documents required for the embassy interview:

1) We sent originals in with the I-129 form - will we need a second set of originals of these documents? I thought the packet would be forwarded to the embassy;

2) Do we need Spanish documents translated to English for documents requested in the embassy interview?

Thanks - information on the embassy web site seems somewhat contradictory on these points.

When you send papers to the USCIS/NVC they should be copies. Originals must be presented the day of the interview. Since you send originals before, I recommend you to have in hand originals documents, eventhough you spend more money, it is worthy! You wouldnt like to say to the Consular office that day, that you didn't brought them, because you thought they would have them. It is better to be save, than sorry! And with the spanish traductions the same. They don't demand to have translations, but it is a plus for the consular officer if he/she dont know a well spanish.

When I had my interview, I did had may traductions spanish/english of my birth certificate and husband's divorce. It was a waste of money, because they didn't ask for those translations, just original documents. But as I said before, better save, than sorry!!!

GOOD LUCK
