Documnets required for Consular Processing

[dotts04]

Hi:

My lawer had submitted the Immigration Application along with copies of all pertaining documents like birth certificate, marriage certificate, police records, etc. to NVC, New Hampshire, U.S for NVC to approve and forward the application on to the Consulate in Montreal.

However, my lawer received a letter from NVC indicating that NVC would require original documents of Birth Certificate and Marriage certificate.

Questions:

(1) Is it a normal procedure to send originals ?
(2) Will I get back the originals ?
(3) Will NVC forward the originals to Consulate in Montreal ?


Please advise.

Thank you.

I know that unlike the Consulates in India, the Consulates in Canada require submission of all documents along with Packet 3. I am assuming that this means the originals too!.

You should get back your originals after the interview at the Consulate.

Check the threads specific to Montreal Consulate for more information. This is one of the 'stickys' at the top of the page.
