Hello everyone!!! I am on a F-1 Student VISA with STEM OPT extension, filing for AOS
I just filed my package with all the forms and everything yesterday morning!
(Or so I thought...) I had my birth certificate translated Thursday night, and they gave me a sealed packet. I was so excited and mailed my package Friday morning. They emailed me Thursday night wanting to remind me that they did not include my original copies and just included translations in the sealed envelope. I got back from USPS and read my email.
Should I wait until I have NOAs and send my original copy with a copy of NOA? Or should I send my birth certificate now first thing Monday morning to Chicago?
Would this delay my process...?
Thank you all in advance for your help! And hope all of us have a good experience with USCIS, especially with everything going on right now!

I heard you cannot translate your own documents. However if you or your spouse have friends or colleagues that speak both languages, they can certify the translation. So you do not have to spend ridiculous amount of money on professional translation. If they certify these documents, translations must be word for word and you need to attach an affidavit with their information.
Unfortunately I could not take advantage of such as my friends live states away... Hope this helps!
