I sent my I-130 application May 12. I already got my approval and everything but I just notice that they haven't sent back my naturalization certificate?? I sent the original copy I was going through my files and I just notice I am missing it and I just realized I sent it to them. Last time my mom filed for my dad she sent her original copy too but they sent it back to her? What should I do?

From your timeline, it looks like you've just gone to NVC. I think you get your originals back at the interview. They still need them at NVC stage.

 

Is your timeline updated?

WHY would you send the only naturalization certificate you have? Color copy is enough, or even copy of your US passport.

I have colored copies but I thought they need original I sent it anyway... My mom did the same when she filed for my dad I thought it was okay. I called them Nvc adviced me to email them and request to have it back.

AND pay for the new certificate re-issuance if they don't get it back to her.

I called them today they told me to file G884 form. I guess that's a good news for me I just hope I get it back.
