Do I send my original birth certificate and marriage certificate to NVC?

Q: Do I send my original birth certificate and marriage certificate to NVC?

A: No. For NVC processing, you normally submit scans or copies of the required civil documents. Keep the originals or certified copies, because you will need to bring them to the immigrant-visa interview.
