I sent copies of (all pages) my passport with the petition - then for the interview sent my fiancé (now wife) a copy of my BC - not sure if they even reviewed either but they had it just in case.

Both are needed and the birth cert needs to be original...

Wait, the petitioner's passport is needed at the interview? REally? Is this for all embassies?

The beneficiary needs both. The petitioner gave evidence of their US citizenship with the petition by providing a photocopy of their birth certificate OR OR OR a copy of all pages of their passport. If the petitioner is present in country, having the beneficiary show the petitioner's actual passport in the interview to verify they are present in support is a good strategy. However, neither the petitioner's presence or their passport is required at the visa interview. A copy of all pages is a good idea, to show the timing and duration of their visits.

Must have both. The birth certificate must be translated if in a language other than English

Generally NOT for the petitioner, but it is highly advised that your fiancee have a copy of EVERYTHING you sent to the USCIS just in case.
