I864 and interview

[Jessandmargarito 13]

We are just submitting our forms through the NVC portal and notice that my husband will have to bring the original documents to his interview. We have a joint sponsor in the US who has filled out the I864 and provided proof of citizenship to me via scan that I plan to upload. Will my husband have to bring our joint sponsors original i864 and proof of citizenship to his interview? I am with him in his home country so I can provide these for my i864 but it may be tough getting the original documents from our joint sponsor. Do these count as original documents for the interview?

I don’t think you need to take original I-864 or third person’s proof of citizenship.  As long as you take a copy, it should be fine. 
when they say to bring originals, it’s usually documents such passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate, etc.

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking they couldn’t really want my joint sponsor’s passport to be mailed for the interview. But then again, the IRS wants that for an ITIN so you never know.
