I am getting ready to send our DS-230 and so checking the list for the things my wife needs to bring to the interview. The list has birth certificate listed. The DS-230 also asked for her birth certificate. Can I just send a copy with the DS-230??? Some of the things listed are the same as the I-130. Don't they already have these documents?

USCIS doesn't ask for the beneficiary's birth certificate in the I-130 petition. Only NVC does for the IV package. And for NVC, it has to be the original or a certified copy. The original/certified copy then gets sent to the embassy, so an original/certified copy isn't needed for the interview. Just a photocopy would be sufficient for those "just in case" moments.

For our consulate...not even required to bring civil docs, just recommended to be on the safe side.

Yeah, I don't think it's required for any consulate for IR-1/CR-1 applicants as the civil documents are sent to NVC. Despite it not being required, I will still ALWAYS recommend bringing copies just to be on the safe side in case something happens.
