Original birth certificate

[anna4614890 31]

Hello, folks!

My apologies in advance, if my question is silly.

I’m a bit confused about birth certificate what I will have to bring with me to the interview. I have my translated to English and certified birth certificate (with apostille) with me in current country of my residency. My original not translated Russian birth certificate is in my house in Russia. My question is - do I need to bring to the interview my original old birth certificate in Russian with translated certified one? Even though they will not be able to read it?
I’m asking because I read under document requirements of embassy in Seoul that you need to bring your original certificate in native language.( May be that requirement only for Koreans but idk)

If you do not upload the correct birth certificate to NVC you'll get an RFE. So, if the one back home is the correct one I would have translate it and ask someone to send you a scan of it so you can upload to NVC. Then take it to the interview.

Yes, I just super confused about it. The one back home is the one without translation (same one just in Russian only) . So my document what I have with me is the same exact birth certificate what was scanned by translator, with translation page and verification of translation… I have it on paper and this file include 7 pages with scans of  birth certificate, apostille, stamps, translation pages and page with translation verification with stamps. I always use it for Korean immigration office tho… never needed Document in Russian without translation.
