Should you resubmit parent's birth certificate and marriage documents? One set for i130, one set for DS260?

[marghachou 0]

I petitioned for my parents to receive green card, and filed i130 along with their birth certificates and marriage certificate. Now it's time for DS260 and in the list of documents it looks like they want the same thing again. I called NVC and she mentioned the departments are different and I need to resubmit these documents again. anybody had similar experience?

Thank you

you submit originals with the I-130?

I-130 instructions state that photocopy is acceptable

and yes,

NVC wants to see it again. you're lucky, in that the requirement there changed, it used to be

originals or certified copies of the originals, certified by the issuing authority,

but

now it's shifted to photocopy is acceptable, where the original is shown on interview day.

Hi,

USCIS is part of the Dept. of Homeland Security. The NVC and US embassies are part of the State Dept.

Different departments means submitting the same info to both. This is normal.

Best of luck

for i130 I submitted official translations of the documents. Now should I have to ask my parents to get another set of official translations and mail it, or photocopy is enough? I have photocopies

NVC will accept photocopies.

However, your parents must bring the originals to their interview.

They are in Iran.

So during the interview the original documents are needed or original documents + notorary certified translations?

Do they request for parent's birth certificates? I submitted my birth certificate and their marriage certificate for my dad.

On the NVC website it states

After you collect your financial forms and supporting financial evidence, you and each family member immigrating with you to the United States should collect civil documents to support your visa application.

So I assume I will need their birth certificates as well...

Please understand the list of civil documents.

Sure, it's spouse focused, but applies to IR-5 also.
