Hi,
For immigrant visa processing ....the dept of state and NVC seem to say that they need original or certified photocopies of the documents form an appropriate authority ( the issuing entity).
Does that mean that if I send in photocopies of my birth certificate it needs to be certified by the issuing authority...in my case the registrar of births....from my country.
Or do I have to risk sending the NVC my original documents....or does anyone have experience sending them Notarised photocopies.
any help is appreciated....

They need the original ones.
 
You can file form G-844(request to return originals) . I'd suppose that you may submit this form after say a month or so past USCIS asked for them. Have a look at the official USCIS wbsite ,go to immigration forms and find G-884.
Hope that helped.
