Hello!

My husband's waiver has been approved and we are waiting for an appointment from NVC. Unfortunately, we cannot find his original birth certificate. However, we do have a certified copy of his long birth certificate (an example is attached). If we made copies of the certified birth certificate and also brought the certified birth certificate to the interview, would that be ok?

Thanks! :D

If it's a certified birth certificate, it should work

Ok, thank you! I thought it would work, but I just wanted to make sure :)
