I sent all the original as well, I mean I knew what I was doing, but I read it very carefully, and I think the Birth Certificate has to be original ?
I did not send the marriage certificate as original, I had like the one from the mosque, one from the government of gujarat, (both copies)
but the Birth (was original, and I have few extra in ORIGINAL form and also made a copy of the one I sent to CIC)
I sent all the original phone bills (reason I printed them my self, so I've got the PDFs on gmail if I ever need)
Before I submitted the application, I made photo copy (exact duplicate) of what I was sending, and I made all the copies on HIGH QUALITY GLOSS paper in COLOR with THICK 1 setting (IT person might know what I mean by THICK 1) ... meaning I kept the duplicate of entire package. (with the exception of PICTURES, but today I also printed one additional copy of all the pictures I've sent (about 300) in 8 different envelopes and I marked each envelope like this:
01 - Pithi (Ceremony of Pithi) - Dec 11 2010
02 - Jaan (Arrival of the Groom) - Dec 12 2010
03 - Nikah (Ceremony of Nikah) - Dec 12 2010
