@geowrian when I call USCIS there's always an option to have your original package of all that info for NOA1 to be returned to you.  That's what I'm referring to.  I never requested mine to be returned to me and didn't know how long they keep all of that info filed away in case I want it back. 

Hey I think our original packet will be sent to the Us embassy/ consular? after the USCIS or NVC scans all the documents. Just my guess :D

Hmm...not familiar with that at all. Where is that option? I just called and couldn't find it. In theory, it shouldn't be possible as they have physically shipped it from the lockbox to CSC, then to NVC, then to the embassy.
