preparing fr the AOS interview

[divs76 0]

Hello ebody...

i still have anathor 20 days to the interview..

may be some would find this question silly but i would still go ahead and ask ..

i have originals of everything except for my original birth certificate.

the scanned copy is what i submitted with the AOS package but i guess i need to have all originals with me at the interview.

My original birth certificate is back home.

Is it absolutely necessary to ask my parents to post it to me or i can do with the scanned image?

You need the original birth certificate...if they ask to see the original (and they could) and you don't have it, you could face more delays (though I'm not sure that would bring a denial...hopefully someone else can advise on that).

The birth certificate is an important document. Personally if I was in your case I would have my family send it just in case. The IO might or might not ask for it, but it's best to be prepared. Also; on the long term it's a good document for you to have with you anyway.

Of the three documents I had to present the original (or certified copy) was both our birth certificates and our marriage certificate.

I'd have them send it, they never asked to see any of our documents in our interview, not even the pictures, even though we brought everything. But it's better to have all that stuff than not.

My husband had his AOS interview yesterday and the officer did ask for the original of his birth certificate. I thought since we submitted a copy of it in the AOS packet that would be enough. She contemplated it for a minute and said ok.

But since you have 20 more days to your interview, I say better to be on the safe side. Have your parents send you the original BC.
