Send only copies :) My Fiance sent only copy of BC, and we even didn't include copy of his passport... I remember many people told us to make copies of each page of his passport as well as BC... but we sent only BC and recieved NOA-2 with no problem! Good luck!

Keep originals. If you feel a little unsure whether copies alone will do, just send certified copies.

But since you got the international version, that is not an original (as in your original b/c issued when you were born) so you can send it in, or just make copies.
