Was wondering if I need my fiance's original birth certificate(he's the USC) to take with me for my interview?

Or will a copy do?

The Guides say Yes..the Original BC but not Passport (copy is sufficient).

Check your embassy's requirements.

We used US-Passport instead of BC on our Petition, but we're gonna have an original/certified on hand at interview anyway..just in case.

4.3.6)...What should I bring with me to the interview?

A...You need everything from the checklist, of course, but you also need originals of everything that was originally submitted as a copy, even with the I-129F petition (except the US Citizens passport and the original I-797(NOA2) approval notice). Original birth certificates, divorce or death decrees, and originals of any documents to support the I-134 fall into this category. The Consulate has the right to ask for the original of any document, so best be prepared.

I'll have my Fiance bring me a notarized copy of his BC when he comes to visit in April. I hope that's enough, he only has one original and I don't want him to travel with it half around the Earth...
