Do you have to send original marriage certificate

No, only a photocopy of the marriage certificate is to be sent to USCIS and the NVC. The original will be brought to the interview.

yes I just want to add into here,

send everything you can to prove your relationship now to USCIS.

Whether that is fb messages, pictures, emails, flight itinerary and ticket.

But only send copies of documents.

You will need to send more proof later on in the process, but for now, to make it easier, send it with your I130 package.

For me I sent Facebook messages, Viber, Skype, emails, my journal entries during my visit, and pictures.

Good luck!

I am rooting for you.
