So according the VJ guide , certified copies are required. I've been reading everywhere that all we need to send is regular photo copies of required documentation. What is the right information?

http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Also the instructions to assemble I-130 includes a G-325A one filled up from me and another one from my husband. Ok, checked.

The instructions to assemble I-485 also includes another G-325A of the non US citizen with 2 pictures in a plastic bag ( a zip lock bag is ok?)

This means we send out three (3) filled up G-325A, 2 of the non US citizen and 1 of the Petitioner ( my US citizen husband) ?

Thank you

I can only speak from our experience, but regular photo copies are fine.

A zip lock should be ok, we used small plastic bags and clipped them onto the documents.

Yes, 3 G-325A.

Good luck!
