They say that I send photocopy of the civil documents. but they don't mention anything about translations as to whether they should be original or photocopies.

That is where i am confused.

You can search us embassy Egypt where they explained more about what you should take to interview etc. So you get more idea.

I gave originals to attorney / he sent copy

At NVC stage they said paper size for morocco was wrong and wanted originals (2011)

so they could ask for them at interview as now they do the NVC stage online thru CEAC and none of the documetns at this stage are originals

Hi, sadly i cant help you because  i am not there although for the uscis i sent photocopys of the translation. However, i am in the stage that uscis sent my case to the nvc, and here is my question. In how much time did the nvc received your case? and in how much time did you get your case number. They told me the limit was 30 days but i would like to know what is the average. Hope you can help me, thanks you i advance.

From what I understand is that NVC requires only photocopies at this stage, so I am just gonna send photocopies of the translations.

Egypt is actually now a pivot case embassy, might want to check with NVC as how to upload the documents.

I honestly do not know that answer, I to got mine long before the pivot change over. I would recommend calling them, but if they tell you that you need to send the papers, you will only send copies of everything and copies for the translations.

 

all the original documents will go to the interview.

 

I am sending you a private message in just a moment.

Called NVC and they cannot convert my case. but I asked about translations and they said that it is fine.. 

So if anybody was wondering, yes you can send photocopies of translations to the NVC.
