NVC September - 2009 Edition

[JustJ 0]

Ya know, everybody says the NVC operators are nice. I have only encountered ONE who was remotely pleasant. Maybe they're overworked. I dunno. But sheesh....

I also think either I need a hearing aid, or the mics on the head sets at NVC need to be turned up. I can NEVER hear them properly.

I just got back from Express Mailing the court records. I hope those are the ones we were requesting.

So I guess in about a week, I'll be window shopping for a nice NVC operator again.

When we get a case complete, I'm going to shriek to the mountaintops with joy.

I know exactly how you feel, Julie.

I think I made some progress today; I spoke with one supervisor, who referred me to HER supervisor, and now there's an e-mail getting forwarded and so on... I'm going to call back in another hour and pray for good news.

Brooklyn, I wondered this as well. I searched the forums & did find a couple of posts about it. It seems if you submitted a CERTIFIED copy of something, you may need to show the original at your interview. There are certain original documents that can't be obtained a second time, or are expensive enough to obtain once! For example, if court records don't exist anymore, you can obtain a letter from the courthouse stating that. That letter would be something you would have a hard time getting in original form a second time. I know in our case, getting the letter in the first place was difficult! The court clerk simply couldn't see why he had to provide a letter stating he searched the records and couldn't find anything.

Anyhow, here's the answer I found:

The last page of our appointment letter says "[name of beneficiary/applicant] must bring the following to the visa interview: Any original documents that were requested by the NVC but were not submitted to the NVC...." so I don't think you need to bring originals which you have already submitted with your DS230.

If somebody thinks this is incorrect, I hope they let us know.

I'm pretty sure that's correct. They want originals or certified and if you send certified then they want to see the originals at the interview. If you did send originals with your DS-230, then its okay and you are not required to have another original document because...NVC will have it! And it is suggested that you retain copies of the documents you have sent.

yes ,, i can agree with this ,, if you submmit an original no need to worry about it that will be forwarded to the embassy but if you summit a copy they may want the original handy,, for example my husband had sent the original marriage certificate to nvc i told him to make a copy for him self in case any ways so when he goes to the embassy they are not gonna ask him to provide that,, well after all nvc will forward what he sent them,, ( they better) lol

It should be nothing for a CR-1 visa. I believe only K-1 visas have a fee to pay at interview.

Here is a copy of what the embassy sends once you have an appointment... The letters after each form desingate if you have to bring it, it is not required or if they have it...

APPLICANT must bring the following to the visa interview:

* Any original documents that were requested by the NVC but were not submitted

to the NVC

* The medical examination results if not submitted to the Embassy/Consulate by

the physician

* The correct size and number of photographs

* Valid passport for all traveling applicants

The following table lists the documents requested by the NVC and whether or not the

NVC received them. Please note that even though the applicant may have provided

the NVC with a copy of a document, the applicant is still required to bring the

original document to the visa interview.
