Hello,

In my confusing email from NVC yesterday they also said that the marriage certificate i submitted was not an original or certified copy, while this is true, the reason i submitted a photocopy was only because i had submitted the original with the raised gold seal in my I130 package and so they already have the original. Is it normal to have to submit an orignal with the I130 and then have to do so again with IV ds230? Wouldnt they already have it all together in the folder any way? Does any one think that if i call them on monday and what i have already said to you all here that this would clear it up? Even if not i was able to order two more copies on the net today and should have them by the mid to end of next week but i think it is quite silly to have to submit to them more than one original or certified copy, seeing as they have the good one anyway...

Any advice?

thanks

No, originals are not submitted with the I-130, only photocopies. Originals (and photocopies) are submitted to the NVC.

When filing new forms it's best to send an original certified copy with the seal, they tend to lose papers that suppose to be in our file. Good luck :)
