Hello, we are now gathering all the info for the interview. I had all my papers prepared and I read this.

" Birth Certificates: Copy and original birth certificates of the petitioner and each person listed on the

application are required. In case you do not have the petitioner’s birth certificate, the officer will review
the case and provide guidance at the interview. If you or any children were adopted, you must submit an
official adoption decree."
It is under step 3 on this page.
I lost my birth certificate. When I applied for the 129-f I used a copy of my passport, and all was ok.
I did not realize I would need to mail an original of my Birth certificate? This was not on the list on the visajourney page. Am i reading this correct?

You should contact the county or city in which you were born and obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate. They might have an online form to download and mail in with the fee. I suggest you get at least two copies for yourself.

I don't know if this is country specific but they didn't ask for my fiancés Birth certificate at the interview (I brought original and copies with me, but they didn't ask for them)

I am not sure, and this is just a guess, but wouldn't they know for sure if the petitioner is a US citizen before they approved the petition? Maybe that's why they don't ask for it again.

Copy of passport should have been sufficient since your birth certificate was needed to obtain the passport IMHO. But as has been stated before, the request may be country specific. Hopefully someone who has already processed through Vietnam can chime in with more information. Have you tried asking the question on the Vietnam Portal? If not, it may be worth a try. Wishing you good fortune.
