Help Needed!!

[kishmar 0]

Hello All,

Im in the process of putting together my supporting documents to send in my DS-230. The problem is my fathers name is not on my birth certficate (I hear this is a problem) .. My father died when i was a child and really dont know much about him he was never apart of my life and i dont even remember ever seeing the man. Can anyone give me some advise.....My husband and I have been apart for a very long time and i beginning to get a bit worried. Based on the Flow Chart that i received from a good friend we are almost complete the NVC section of the process.

So how long do you figure after the NVC authourize our documents before i get an interview date.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

Kishmar

I'm not sure how important or unimportant it is to have your father's name on the birth certificate. You might want to try contacting the embassy if there is no other info in VJ forums. Or you could send a paper explaining the situation as well.

This link shows that it takes approximately 60-90 days for the interview once the NVC has received the document.

VJ - Jamaican Embassy

This link shows times for all countries (including Jamaica) for K! and K3 visas from when consulate receives petition to when the interview is.

K1 ~ 93 days

K3 ~ 105 days

Timeline between NVC and interview

Ok then..i knew it would be something like that..so just write the letter and get it notorized even have another family member write a letter also notorize it and send it in..if u get a RFE u deal with it then..but since they told u to do that then do it...hopefully u don't have to go tru di family court which is the way it should have been explained to ur mom back in the day..good luck

keep me posted

let me go pull out my husband birth certificate.........his father name is not on it either. In Jamaica I didn't know that they have to pay to put the father's name on the birth certificate how true is that?

My husbands name is not on the BC either. I know ALOT of yardies who got through juss fine without the name. So long as you have the "long" form BC you should be all good. I din't put a father on the I-130 either...I just put unknown. I forget who on the Yardie VJ side told me this is ok, but I asked this question months ago and a few folks said it was not a problem.

Kish, I'm confused by your timeline, it says that your consulate in Armenia and that you filed I-130 back in 2004? Is this correct? I am assuming either your husband is not a US citizen or you were petitioned by someone else cause you have been in NVC for almost 3 years.

Anyway, I think you are going to be ok with the BC.

You don't need your fathers name on your BC. My husband did not have any problem. His dad died when he was very young also. You will be just fine

I thought it was you that told me this was ok. Oh yeah, I took your advice bout the marriage certificate, and they took it without being the certified one.

Marlita,

Please forgive my errors on the timeline (not so computer savvy and i was not keeping the dates correct until i visted this site and realize what is to be done). My husband first file in 2005 (he was a LRA). We got married 2004 July. He got naturalized January 16, 08 and my case upgraded...We paid US$400 for IV fee and he sent in the AOS on Monday March 17th. Call NVC same day they said they were sending out instructions for me to complete DS-230.

Hope this info is a bit clearer.......thats why i was asking bout the birth cerficate cause i read online that it needed both parents name.

Thanks you

Please give any futher guidance that you can

Ok Kish, thats what I figured. I've seen a few VJ cases where peoples timelines changed cause they upgraded after getting naturalized. i saw the same thing about the father on BC, but its truly not a problem...you shoud be fine.

I can only speak form my experience..i had issues that i had to make sure my husbands fathers name was on his BC..thats why i say that..plus on the I 130 if you have a father there i think it would be necessary to have his name on the BC..

Hmmmm... Ray knows who his father is, but his name is not on the BC. I hope this doesn't cause a problem down the line.
