is original BC necessary?

[andy22]

I want to sponsor my parents for visitor visa. Do I have to send an original BC? I am kind of scared mailing it out. What if it gets lost in mail?
Thanks a bunch.

Dont know if the us consulate needs ur orig. bc, but they will need for your parents with english translation. u can always send them a notarized copy or english translation of yourself.

ps: no legal advise

No, BC is not compulsory.. If you have Original Leaving certificate of your education.. That will be more than enough.. But this leaving certificate must have your DOB
