Question re: pre-interview checklist for Montreal

[ADW & JOP 146]

Hi everyone,

 

I received DQ at the NVC on October 16 for CR1 and am now in the process of collecting documents.

 

I have a couple of questions:

 

Question 1:

 

Reviewing the U.S. Consulate General Montreal website, I saw this:

 

• Your original birth certificate and that of your petitioner if applicable, English translation, and a photocopy.

Does anyone know if I need to bring an original copy of my US spouse's birth certificate?

 

Question 2:

 

My original certified birth certificate came on paper size 8 x17. Should the photocopy be the same size or would it be okay to shrink it onto a standard piece of paper?

 

Thanks!

1 - i have my petitioner's original certificate just in case.

2 - i photocopied my k2's birth certificate in a normal 8x11 paper (shrinked) and his original is the long form.

Thanks. I will get my wife to send it to me!

Did you/spouse upload spouse's BC as part of the process previously? Generally speaking, my understanding of consular interview documents, is that they are the originals of everything uploaded to CEAC/NVC as civil docs or financial docs...
