Nbi clearance and police records from any other countries live in. The second packet will be the Aos packet it will include the finicial record of the petitioner

Only send copies to the USCIS and the NVC

Thank you so much for your reply, if my husband will send the I-130 he will also includes the evidence of our marriage, right? We just got married last aug 1,2015 and the NSO of our marriage cert will be relase by sept, am I going to send it to him the original copy? But he will only make copy of it once he send it together with the I-130? I'm totally confused...thank u

yes he will need two copies one for USCIS And one for Nvc

Just make a couple of copies and send to him or he can request a copy at www.ecensus.com.ph

Do not send the original copy you will get as you will need that for your interview later
