NVC- is this a form of discrimination?

[angela920 0]

I called NVC several times yesterday and the day before to ask for a case number and also to ask if the papers had been sent here in Manila, but they kept on telling me that I had a wrong date of birth for my fiance. Then my fiance called NVC last night and and he had no problem at all... He got the Manila Case Number. He said the same birth date that I told them. I was listening when he called NVC.

And just now i called NVC again to ask if they already sent the papers to the embassy here.. yet again.. I was told that my fiance's birth date that i told them is incorrect. Does it sound weird to you? Are they just not giving me information just because im not the petitioner? Does this happen to you? I know my fiance's date of birth and there is no way that i could be wrong and he told them the same thing last night when he called and got more information.

Is this a form of discrimination?

No, not discrimination. Even though you are the benneficiary, it is not your petition and you have no authority to give or get information without explicit permission from the petitioner.

thank you for your reply... if that's the case they could have just told me that they cant give out info to the beneficiary.. rather than making me feel dumb. I just don't understand why they said i got his date of birth wrong yet when he called he told them the same thing and had no problem.

Just wondering, how do you say out his date of birth?

Don't get me wrong, but this might be a matter of British and American English difference.

Say your fiance's DOB is 4th of September 1970. If I have to write it, I will write it as -- 04/09/1970 ..........Where as my USC husband will write it as 09/04/1970

So may be you are saying the British way and they are saying its wrong because of that.

I thought of that too so instead of numbers i said it April 30, 1970. That's how i said it.

Kinda weird. My husband (beneficiary) called and talked to them all the time. Its his visa, not mine, so I figured they'd have to tell him everything, and they did.

so im just paranoid if they tell me what i said is not the right thing in their system... coz it might mean.. another delays for us. See, we filed January and just reaching NVC now. I'll have it figured out later after his work.. Maybe i can try to call first and let him listen and then him... if they said no to me and yes to him with the same birth date. I wouldn't know what to say.

Thank you guys for the replies
