Hi, my fiancee has 2 birth certificates for her and 2 for her son both from NSO.

It is my understanding that one of each will be given at time of the interview.

My question is will it be returned to her after visa received or do they keep the BC.

I'm trying to determine how many originals they will need.

I believe they are needed for AOS in states as well so just don't want to get caught short plus I want us to have an original in OUR files at home.

Thanks

Tyler

My question is will it be returned to her after visa received or do they keep the BC. - They keep all original Govt docs. BC, Cenomar, NBI during the interview. The Packet will arrived on sealed envelop with the passport and visa on it. You can open the plastic pouch just to get the passport, DO NOT OPEN the sealed envelop from the embassy.

I'm trying to determine how many originals they will need. - she can get more original copies after the interview. I am planning to bring at least 5 each of our BC For now she have enough

I believe they are needed for AOS in states as well so just don't want to get caught short plus I want us to have an original in OUR files at home.

This is from the embassy letter: You must submit ALL ORIGINAL civil documents to facilitate your application. We brought our originals with us to our interview with at least one copy in the event they asked for a copy. There is additional information in the Embassy Letter concerning originals. http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/1178798/feb2015/K1-K2%20Applicant%20Interview%20Preparation%20Instructions%20-%20English%20_February%202015_.pdf

Also, The National Visa Center (NVC) will cease collecting original civil documents in support of immigrant visa (IV) applications as of November 12, 2014. Most applicants will be required to submit photocopies of supporting documents (such as birth, marriage, and police certificates) and will be instructed to take their original documents to their interviews for review.

When you leave for the states bring along at least 3 original BC's. Other documents will not be needed like NBI, NSO or CENOMAR.
