what documents did they ask you to bring? it could be that they are asking you to bring original documents of the one they already have or additional documents that were not submitted with your packet that were requeted.

Yes they have asked for my original nikahnama and original nikahnama of previous marriage and divorce certificate from union council not of nadra but based on which i got divorce certificate. which i understood was that they needed the notice of termination of marriage from union council as i have already submitted the original divorce certificate

All the requested documents have been submitted to NVC. and when i got interview appointment letter; everything was marked fine. They didn't ask for anything. In addition to original marriage and divorce certificates they require nikahnamas and court orders too as i have understood. (they had not been asked to submit anywhere)

when they are asking for "original" that means they want the authetic document that you have, NOT a PHOTOCOPY! so just take the Original document with you incase they want to see it thats the only reason they are asking for it. For example the Birthcertificate they ask everyone to submitt an ORIGINAL not a photocopy its the same scenario here. The main purpose they ask for originals is to inspect that they are official and not a forged photocopy.
