Hi All, I am trying to prepare ahead for the documents needed in the interview. I have read that we definitely need to send in to NVC the original or certified documents from issuing agency. I was under the impression that these documents will be forwarded to the consulate. I also see in the instructions on the government website that you will need to do this again at the interview.

"You will be required to present the original documents at your interview, along with a photocopy of each document."

It is difficult and costly to obtain a marriage certificate with a USA citizen in Nepal. There shouldn't be "special prices" for this but it is the reality. Is this true that I have to remake my birth certificate, the marriage certificate and my husbands birth record originals for my husbands interview even though they are mailed in already to the NVC? Is there anyway around this? I have checked the Reciprocity by Country section of the government website for Nepal, and it shows that all documents are available to the public so they are required. :crying:

After an hour of research I found the answer to this on the website for the US Embassy in Kathmandu Nepal. Anyone else who is having this issue may get lucky looking on the Embassy website directly for their country.

"Immigrant Visa Applicants: The National Visa Center (NVC) will no longer collect original civil documents for immigrant visa applicants. Immigrant visa applicants are instructed to mail photocopies of their civil documents (i.e. birth certificates, marriage certificates, police certificates, etc.) along with the original Affidavit of Support to NVC and bring the original documents to the immigrant visa interview at the embassy."
