Shiela,

I inbox you with the same question I am going to ask. I guess it's best here so that other's may see the answers as well. It looks like it took only a month from approval to IV Bil Pay and Docs were sent to NVC.

Now my question:

Did you have to send out all originals documents of your parents e.g. Birth Cert., Marriage C., NBI, Police Clearance to NVC and including your original BC and MC as well?

So if we only have one originals of each doc, will USEM return these originals back to the beneficiary?

thank you.

Yes i send original civil documents. Request 2 copies at NSO submit originals at NVC and other copies kept it.

What i did for my mother

She request BC , MC etc to our NSO i let her request 2 copies each civil documents.

So that if just incase they will ask u original in the interview u have s copies.

I dont think they will return the original. They wikl kept that for the record i think.. Not sure.

If i were u just request an extra original copies at NSO. U might need in the future..

[OKflyboy 35]

They do return the originals at the interview. In some countries (like Russia) the original document (BC, MC) is the only one you can ever have (unless lost or damaged, and then it is not easy to obtain a replacement) and it cannot be taken away from you.

"send my DS-3032" meaning you emailed it out yourself using your own email or your beneficiary email account?

or you had your beneficiary do it?

[Paps IR5 6]
