In the future, never give an original unless it is specifically requested for in the instructions of the form, or specific for a consulate. Forms with signatures obviously need to be the one with the ink, but you can reprint them quickly if something happens. If your original birth certificate, W-2, etc... gets lost, they can be a pain to re-obtain.

Send copies where appropriate and be prepared to show them at interview if they ask for them for verification.

I imagine you should also have the 2011 tax return to go with the 2011 W-2? The photocopy should be OK.

We only turned in a signed photocopy and they never asked us for the original, but the Philippines have always operated different than others.

Good luck
