Birth Certificate at AoS interview?

[Joe30 17]

Does my spouse (USC petitioner) need to bring their Birth Certificate to the AoS interview?

[Joe30 17]

Also, do they want original birth certificates or they are Okay with copies?

Did you receive the letter with the date? If I recall it correctly, they list the BC as one of the documents the USC needs to bring. Take the original and a copy, if they want to keep it give them the copy. But bring both.

Is original required?

[Verrou 1,957]

on the letter usually it will tell you. for example from n-400 interview letter it stated "If copies of a document were submitted as evidence with your N400 application, the originals of those documents should be brought to the interview"

 

i dont think its gonna be any different on AOS

 

my motto : i rather have it and dont need it than you need it but you dont have it

if you submitted a copy of your BC with the initial Package they are going to want to see the original. We were asked at both interviews (485 and N400) for the birth Certificate, marriage Cert and Divorce Cert. Copies can be altered , originals are stamped. Do yourself a favor and bring all originals. You wont get approved if they ask for them and you dont have.

What do you mean stamped? 

[Bob in Boston 671]

Usually they have a raised stamp or a pasted on seal that is a raised stamp, similar to a notary stamp, also called a seal.

They should bring some proof of US citizenship, this can be any of the following:

Birth Certificate from any of the 50 states, DC, or territory (excluding American Samoa)

Consular Report of Birth Abroad

US Passport

US Passport Card

US Naturalization Certificate

US Certificate of Citizenship

 

Regardless of what it is, it's gotta be an original.
