Mumbai Consulate - IR5 Interview doc checklist has "Original BC of ALL Children"?

[adar24 33]

Hello folks (whoever's parents (IR5) cleared interview at Mumbai consulate)

While collecting the documents and reading the Mumbai Consulate pre-interview checkist, came across this:

 

Original or certified copies of birth certificates for all children of the principal applicant (even if he or she is not accompanying)

 

My parents have 2 children. Me and my sister. I am the petitioner, in the USA. They will carry the original of my birth certificate with them to the interview. Do they need to carry my sister's birth certificate as well? Or does the "principal applicant" give a clue that this is not required for IR5 as each applicant is individual, not really a principal applicant (where derivative relations can immigrate on the same application).

 

Please advise. Thanks

Has anyone encountered this instruction for their parents? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Anyone with Mumbai consulate interviews?
