IR5 visa pre-interview check list question (Original or certified copies of birth certificates for all children of the principal applicant (even if he or she is not accompanying))

Hi everyone,

 

I just have one question regarding the pre-interview check list for IR5 visa. My mother just got the interview date for the visa and one of the check list says to bring original or certified birth certificate for all children of the principle applicant, even he or she is not accompanying. What does that mean? Is it actually for the children that are not U.S. Citizen or it is just asking for all children birth certificate regardless? Thank you for you guys time. This forum is more than awesome. Hopefully someone can clarify this.

So the mother has to bring birth certificates of all of the children?  I thought it was just the birth certificate of the child who was petitioning the mother?
