Hello,

I am hoping some experienced folks can help me with the following questions. I will be sending civil documents soon for my parents who will appear for their Immigrant visa interview in Mumbai, India.

1. Do I need to send ORIGINALS of civil documents (birth certificate, Police Cert, Marriage cert etc) to NVC? or copies would be sufficient and my parents can take Originals with them to the Interview in Mumbai?

2. What documents do I need to submit for civil documents? Anything to add to the following list:

Dad: Non-availability of Birth certificate, Affidavits for Birth, Marriage Certificate, Affidavits for Marriage, photocopy of Passport, Police Certificate.

Mom: Non-availability of Birth certificate, Affidavits for Birth, Marriage Certificate, Affidavits for Marriage, photocopy of Passport, Police Certificate.

Myself: Birth certificate, Marriage certificate

3. Do I need to submit photographs (passport size) for my parents to NVC?

4. Should I complete the DS 260 online before sending the Civil documents or can I send them now and complete DS260?

Thanks in advance!

No they have to be originals or certified copies of originals. Not copies.

Yes you have to submit passport pics for them

You can submit the DS-260 whenever it is available.

1. Yes it must be the original or a certified copy PLUS a photocopy of each document

2. full list is here: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/submit/documents-to-submit-to-nvc.html

3. yes 2 passport (US standards) each

4. It really makes no difference when they are sent but you will need the IV coverpage when that fee is paid.

Quick Question:

I have been told that I need to send ORIGINALS of all civic documents (Birth certificate, marriage certificate etc) for my parent's application.

My question is: I have only one Original for each of the civic documents. Does NVC need two originals of my parent's Marriage certificate and my Birth certificate and my marriage certificate (one for my dad's application and one for my Mom's application)? Please note that I would be sending both their applications in the same envelope and they would appear for the Interviews in mumbai, India at the same time.

Can I submit one set of Originals and provide photocopies?

Please help.

Thanks!
