bringing petitioners original birth certificate to interview

[nismo32 0]

hello, my mother in law got approved for an interview on her case... which my wife who is a us citizen is sponsoring her mother...

they approved the case and now its being sent to the embassy for the interview, but on the checklist we got it is saying for us to send the petitioners original birth certificate.. which is my wife and she is living in the usa and her mom who we are sponsoring is living in Pakistan... why would they ask for the original birth certificate from my mother in law who is in Pakistan when her daughter who is in usa has the original?? do we need to send my mother in law our only copy of the original birth certificate??? we already sent the nvc the photocopy of my wifes birth certificate?? I don't understand why they are making it hard for us there is no reason my mother in law would have the original birth certificate of her daughter who is not living with her and is in another county far away.. I would just send it but trying to get mail from usa to Pakistan is not guaranteed... I have lost many letters that I sent over to Pakistan so im sure it will not get delivered as needed!?!?
