[wanzi]

When I filling 130, do I need submit the origninal documents? such as birth certificate, marriage license, previous marriage ending legal decree...

but somebody says the orignial ones are only for your interview, is that ture?

should i send original or not?

thanks in advance.

Don't send originals of birth/marriage certificates by mail - they will never get returned. Copies are sufficient for mailing.

Do not invent the rules when it comes to dealing with CIS. They don't want your originals so don't send them any (or kiss your documents bye bye).
