Step 3: Gather Documents Required for the Interview

 

Every visa applicant no matter their age must bring certain documents to the interview, including photographs, the original version of all civil documents submitted to NVC, copies of those documents, and financial documents from the petitioner and any other financial sponsors.  Please review Items Your Must Bring to Your Visa InterviewYou must bring the documents on this list even if you submitted a photocopy of them to NVC

What happens if you forget to bring something on this list?  The consular officer will not be able to complete the processing of your visa. You will have to gather the missing items and provide them to the embassy, and may have to come for additional interviews. Failure to bring all items on the above list can delay visa issuance.

Yes. You being originals to the interview.

 

Each applicant is required to bring the original version of all civil documents plus one photocopy of each document to the visa interview. You must also bring any required financial evidence provided by your petitioner. Failure to bring all required original documents and photocopies to the interview may cause delay or denial of the visa.

But on the website it says ‘copies of the petitioner’s documents’

Applicant must provide original civil documents.   Petitionner is not the applicant. 

YMMV

Originals of all civil documents that the applicant is a party to.

My mistake, I misread the original post. Either way, it doesn't hurt to bring just in case they ask.
