Hi,

Question:

IF we are using a joint sponsor, is his/her birth certificate (original) also needed to bring to the interview???

hi

no, if the birth certificate was used as proof of being a USC for the i864, that's al you need, no original needed

okay, so basically just send a photocopy of the birth certificate with the aos form to the nvc? and the origial then wont be requested at the interview ..? (although other originals are needed..)

That's correct The only original documents that need to be brought to the interview are the beneficiary's civil documents (e.g. birth certificate, police clearance, etc.)

The interview is all about you. If NVC had reason to doubt the authenticity of the birth certificate of the joint sponsor they would have dealt with that at the time. You made it through that stage so everything was found to be acceptable and correct.
