Original Documents to AOS interview during covid???

[mandajoy98 68]

Hello,

 

I am having my Green card interview in 2 days and on the checklist they mailed me with my interview notice, it mentioned that you must bring ORIGINAL documents as well as copies. Being COVID, I have heard that most people are interviewing via iPad and sliding their documents somewhere to be processed 72 hours later. This concerns me because I am afraid of giving away my passports, birth certificates, SSN, marriage certificates.. etc. If anyone has gone through their virtual interview yet, did you only give photocopies or did you ever get your original copies back at a later date?

My husband had his AOS interview in November. The interview was in person, with masks, behind plexiglas. He had original documents and the copies just in case. The IO asked for some original documents, viewed them and gave them right back. The only thing that was kept was the tax transcripts. 
 

We will keep the copies and to send them with ROC.

there are no virtual interviews any where when it comes to USCIS. if they ask for originals they will return it back.
