Original birth certificate and tax returns across the world for interview IR5

[tmrtng 5]

Hello,

 

My parents' interview is next month. They want my husband's birth certificate and our marriage certificate since he is a household member. I am the only petitioner. I do not have a problem sending our marriage certificate, but I am a little concerned sending his birth certificate and our tax returns across the world. It has all the sensitive information.

 

What experience did you have sending birth certificates, and tax returns across the world?

 

Thank you.

Your tax returns might be required, but a copy is fine. Why would they need your husband's birth certificate?  Where are you seeing that requirement?

NVC manually added my husband to my parents' cases, I assume because we file taxes jointly.

They added him as a household member and requested his birth certificate, our marriage certificate, and proof of domicile. and after I submitted the documents, the system gave me a message original documents needed to be presented at the interview.

That is correct. The original documents of anything uploaded to NVC is required to be in the hands of the beneficiary at the interview. No way around this.

I have one more question, do I need to mail my Naturalization Certificate as proof of my US citizenship?
