We are getting the I-130 package together. We just wanted to check to make sure we are sending the right supporting documents. We have certified 'copies' of our birth, marriage & previous divorce certificates from the issuing agencies (with raised seals and all that). Are those the ones we are supposed to send in, or are we supposed to photocopy those, send in the photocopies and hold onto the 'original' certified copies for the interview?

Thanks!
