I have an interview for my mother, but the original letter that I got from USCIS, telling me what documents to bring etc, I have misplaced that. I have a photocopy of it. Will this do, or I must have the original? If I must have the original, how do I go about getting it?

Does anyone also have any idea what kind of questions they will ask..I am sponsoring my mother from the UK and I am a US citizen. Any pointers, I would appreciate.

letter from USCIS or NVC? cos after you get your NOA 2 , you are DONE with USCIS. NVC emailed me a letter stating I now have an interview date and my file has been forwarded to the embassy for my mom. In the letter they listed all the documents that was being sent to the embassy. I intend to go with a copy of ALL those documents I sent to NVC . My package arrived the embassy today(as per DHL tracking) so I am waiting to see if te embassy will send me a separate letter of interview. if that NVC emailed letter is what you mean I dont think having a photocopy of it would matter.

you rmom should go with photos of both of you and with other people covering several years(just a few , less than 10 as long as each tells a story of a time period) before you filed for her and also any letters, emails that sort of thing just to establish relationship and avoid any request for DNA( more money and time).

could you share a basic timeline so others can benefit from the progress of your case.

she should know things like when and howyou came here, what you do, where you live, when you visited her last etc

I have my mama's interview invitation letter only in form of pdf file, which I printed to make a hard copy. I guess you will be fine with a clean copy.
