thanks, will i get the orginal marriage certificates later ?

That's my understanding. After the interview, the embassy gives the original back and keeps the photocopy ones for their record. FYI, you need to send 2 of each document. Example: 1) Original or Certified copy of the Birth Certificate 2) Photocopy of the Birth Certificate.

Now as far as this is concerned you will NEED to send the original for all docs except the passport, i have contacted the NVC on this, sinc this is the stage i am at. There has been alot of confussion as to what a certified copy was, it should be a certified copy from the issuing entity not a photocopy that's certified. They will give you back the original at the embassy, but make sure you incude a photocopy as well.
