Hello RMC,

I think the problem you will run into is that USCIS WILL NOT return the original documents to you. I'm hoping you have made certified "originals" for yourself. Thanks!

I didn't submit photocopies either. But after the interview my husband received all of the originals back of everything. The only downfall to not having photocopies is if they happen to misplace or lose a document when at the interview.

I'm just speaking for myself, but maybe it's country-specific.

02/01/2013 Sent I-130 via Priority Mail USPS

02/05/2013 NOA1 Priority Date

Also a good point to have back up original documents . Just in case something does happen loss or what ever .

The OP is saying they did not provide photocopies to the NVC. The OP is not talking about the USCIS.

OP - request the originals back at interview.
