CERTIFICATE OF NATURALIZATION

[vross 4]

I emailed the Kingston Embassy to ask if they need original or copy of my Certificate of Naturalization and their reply did not include an answer for that. I tried to get a notarized copy today but they refused to copy or notarize this document and also said that i must be crazy to send my original over the mail. The interview is in 11 days!!! Do they need the ORIGINAL or is copy that i made okay?

A copy is fine.

Scan and email a copy, that's all needed not original

I send the original via UPS on Saturday and now they r emailing me about an "exeption" aka a mistake with the package they are looking to resolve. Let me find out they just lost my original Ceritiface of Naturalization along with my original Birth Certificate. Smh

a copy of front and back of your naturalization certificate is fine (even if the back is totally empty, you still need to photocopy it)

OK, we all stated that a copy of your documents is all that is needed, but you sent the originals. Did you at least make a copy that you can send in the meantime, until your package is located.

Yes I have copies. I am tracking the package I send through UPS and it appears it will get there on Monday (9 days later for a 2 day air delivery smh)

On top of that i received another email to my questions today stating the below:

Good day Sir/Madam

Please note that we do not need your birth certificate or naturalization certificate. When the applicant comes for the interview, the Consular Officer will make the necessary request of any outstanding documents. Please note that the checklist in the package are the requirements for the applicant and not the petitioner. You might have received a package on behalf of the applicant because sometimes they do not receive their package for some reason or the other.

The only document needed from you is a affidavit of support (form I-134)completed and signed with ORIGINAL SIGNATURE, recent tax return, W2 statement and job letter or pay stub. These can be submitted via courier to U.S. Embassy Kingston, Attn: Consular Section, 30 Munroe Road, Kingston 6, Jamaica. Please ensure that you affix the case number that begins KNG along with 10 digits follow. Affidavit of support is unacceptable via email, fax or photocopy.

Also, if a request is made for your naturalization certificate, you can copy and send via email (no notarizing is needed).

We look forward to continue serving you.

Regards

Oh did I mention i got this email after they emailed me that they REQUIRE my (the petitioner) ORIGINAL BIRTH certificate, which is what prompted me to send the originals of everything. Somethimes i wonder if the people at the Consulate know what they are really doing smh
