I've recently had my ORIGINAL copy of my degree requested by a potential employer, if I sigh the contract and take the job.

I don't feel particularly comfortable with this. I've got a notarized copy of my degree I would be happy to send them.

Is this standard practice? Is the original actually needed for immigration purposes?

Need some advice, thank you in advance.

No, don't send the original, send the copy with the notarization and apostille.

They do NOT need the original (for anything) any more.

You should bring it with you (along with another copy that has an apostille - insurance).

No never give them your original and don't bring the original with you as you might lose it. It's not needed or required.
