Do we need to send attested copies or just copies of required documents along with the originals in packet IV

It can just be photocopies. Just make sure you send the originals/certified copies though and not forget about them :P

I was gonna go on trip to Canada for my wife's interview, but got e-mail from manager saying that he can't approve those switches between me and other people. So, it means that my wife would go for her interview alone.

You can call NVC withing 1 week once they receive and ask them.

My confusion came when I read on another thread that the interviewing officer at designated consulate in fact approves your AOS. But I would say that NVC's review is what it matters. Otherwise how would they have sent your papers to consulate if the petitioner doesn't meet requirements as a sponsor :wacko: ?

Thanks! AOS is in their hands and DS-230 is a couple of days from being delivered to them. Fingers crossed for no RFEs! Although I'm pretty sure the police certificate is going to bite us... :crying:
