H1 RFE - Original marksheets non-returnable.

[gspvish]

Hi,
I got mail from my company that USCIS has asked to submit my original transcripts and degree certificates, which will not be returned to me. Hence, they have asked me to apply for fresh original certificates from my University. Any ideas/suggestions/views. Please advise. Its a very tedious job know.

Most universities have defined procedure to get transcripts. They will deliver those in sealed envelopes. Submit that to USCIS. Check with your university.

Is this required even if the marksheets and degrees are in English? Is this wrt universities in US or the ones in India?

[priyashee]

If the transcript issued by the university is not submitted in sealed envelop, is it acceptable by USCIS ?

They may or may not. Sometimes they specifically mention sealed envelope in the RFE.
