Embassy reasons for denying the petition

[albkos 1]

Hi -

I finally received a response from the embassy. They wrote back saying the only reason they denied the petition was due to lack of the police certificate. They said we have to refile with the NVC?

Is this really a reason to have refile? Do you think this is worth pursuing or just give it up and refile? I am so confused.

The missing document is the police certificate. I don't think the police certificate has much worth to begin with. Also this is only because he is from Kosovo. If you read the reciprocity agreement for Macedonia itself they are no longer requiring a the police certificate due to a change in law. Fiance is able to receive the court certificate but not the police certificate.

I guess the embassies view is that everyone else got it why cant you? Well I am sorry that Playnice and I are the 1% of people that are having problems with obtaining.

Is this reason enough? I have contacted my Senator for this and they will inquire. I still have to tell them the new information I have received from the embassy. My fiance also called today and they told him there is nothing wrong with the petition nor the evidence just that it is expired due to lack of police certificate.

Do they have to close out petitions that are still open? Is there a problem with extending the petition. I am just trying to understand where they are coming from or what they are really up to?

I just hate having to refile since Vermont is so slow now. That would mean another 8 months of waiting.....

Any advice would be great.
