Definitely a copy, not the original, as you'll probably never get it back.

(accessible at the top of the forum page). In particular, review the step-by-step K1/K3 AOS guide:

I mention this so that you do not omit any other important document or detail.

Good luck.

You won the bet! If you are the USC and she is the one who is adjusting, you will need a copy of HER birth certificate along with an english translation, NOT yours. From the AoS package the only thing you need to work on is on the i864 and send all the support documents

By the way, just FYI, I notice that your wife came here on january of 2012, so her i94 is WAYyyy expire. She can get the advanced parole during her AoS, but should not leave the country. Because you waited so long to adjust, her time after her i94 is considerer as an overstay, even worst in your wife's case cause her overstay is more than 180 days. This is not an issue to get the green card, but make sure she doesn't travel abroad until her residency is granted

Although it does not mention it in the AOS paperwork, it is a good idea to send a copy in my opinion. Better to provide more than required to avoid any unnecessary delays. Here is a post from a friend of mine who currently received an NOID:

My wife sent our paperwork in April without it as well, since it wasn't noted as a requirement. We are waiting to see what happens next. Good luck!
