ZVS says my traveler needs to send in his original green card with his visa application. Is that really necessary?
We certainly understand a traveler’s hesitation in sending in original documents. However, when consulates require the original documents there is no choice in the matter. Sending in copies in these instances will only delay processing. ZVS takes every conceivable precaution to ensure that all documentation is well taken care of. It is always advisable to make a photocopy of any original document you may have to submit.
