I successful filed for a green card based on family Category F4 (Sibling to Sibling). Sent it all required documents. I received my notice for the Adjust of Status interview which will be in the next 30 days. It looks like much of the supporting evidence is stuff I already submitted. I have two questions.
1) Interview notice asks me to bring "Your petitioners Birth Certificate and your petitioners evidence of United States Citizenship of Lawful Permanent Resident Status" For me this translates as my brothers birth and naturalization certificate. I have these copies but I can only get access to my brothers original naturalization certificate. Over the years he misplaced his original birth certificate but does have copies. If I take copies, will this be a problem? I find it odd that they would want me to go with someone else's original naturalization certificate and birth certificates.
2) This process has taken over 12 years. Just before I applied 2 years ago they retrogressed the dates and I was able to recently. My question is, occasionally I hear of someone's Green Card being backdated, is this possible for me, is there any I need to say during the interview to make this a possibility. I would like to apply for citizenship as soon as I can.
