Embassy keeps all documents submitted. I take it, it was An I-130 petition you filled out for your parents.

Reading the instructions you should have submitted copies of these documents. Not originals.

USCIS Doesnt return your documents. That's why they don't ask for original or certified copies. NVC on the other hand, returns all the original documents to the applicant after the interview.

i am at the NVC stage right now, preparing to submit IV documentation which says ti submit either CERTIFIED copy OR the original.

its okay though my mum is sending me their CERTIFIED copies.
