G-884 Return of Original Documents After ROC Approval? For N-400?

[fromthewater 11]

Has anybody ever sent and requested a Return of Original Documents after I-751 approval or any other kinds of petition/applications?

 

For example, Original Court Certified Divorce Decree/Judgement, Marriage Certificate, or any other Court Certified/Legal Documents?

 

Because when you file for N-400 to naturalize, it is asking for the Original documents. So can you request them from your I-751 case, in order to submit with your N-400?

I know you could go back to the wherever you got those documents from and request for more copies, but if that is not possible or inconvenient because of COVID or because you moved away, wouldn't it make sense to request for original documents back? USCIS are probably not going to use them anymore and may even destroy them...

 

How long does G-884 get processed and you get your documents back?

 

Or is there a way you can tell USCIS in your N-400 that, "Hey, can you use my original documents that I gave you previously during my I-751 or I-485?"

 

Greatly appreciate if you can share your experience!

Copies are fine for everything. I never sent original documents.
