[rajssum]

Hello, Urgent help needed. Can someone please reply with their knowledge?

1. Parents IR5 interview (DQed November 2020) coming up next week. Do they need sponsor's orginal birth and marraige certificates to take for the interview. Copies are enough?
2. Also when parents take originals and another file of copies of originals - do the copies need to be notarzied
3. Also Is PCC valied for 1or 2 years. when I asked consulate - they replied saying its valid for 2 years. but at some other place and also in the forum here - people suggesting 1 year. Parents PCC is 1.5 years old and we are not getting/appointment to get new one done before three interview. Someone Please advice.

1. Sponsor’s original Birth certificate and Marriage certificate have to be carried along at interview because (a) that is the proof that proves the relationship as child-parent. (b) You have uploaded these certificates in ‘ceac’ online application and also with i130 petition.
2. There is no mention of Notarisation of certificate copies.
3. PCC is valid for one year only. Better apply now so that they can show the acknowledgement letter as proof. Carry the old PCC along.
