Hi everyone. My wife has certified copies of some of the documents she needs to bring to the interview later this month, but they have two holes punched out at the top of the papers. Is this ok or do we need to get another set of certified documents with no holes. Also is it ok to staple certain papers such as copies together? I told her that it is better to have no holes in the original certified copies, but wanted to see what you guys know who have already been to the interview. The original certified copies of documents include her NSO, Birth Certificate, CENOMAR, etc. Thanks.

when you send your file to the uscis or nvc the first thing they do is punch holds in the papers to keep them togather the way they want them for your file.so it dont matter if your documents have holds in them now, as long as they can read what it says.you will get the originals back at the interview be sure to ask the immigration officer for orginals documents back, an make copiesyour going to need them again for other forms along the way.on your journey.
