when do u get the original doc.s back ?

[redBlue 1]

I'm missing a few original doc.s that I had submitted during the NVC/Montreal stage.I already had the interview ,but they did not return any of the original doc.s .

I got the visa package as well.They are not there either.

Would it be possible that they put them in the sealed envelope that I'm supposed to submit at POE?

Or did they forget returning them at the interview??

Thnx

If you don't have them yet, you probably are not getting them back.

What originals did not get returned - the marriage certificate and the beneficiaries birth certificate?

Did you send photocopies as well as originals to NVC?

Ok, well it sounds like they messed that up!

It's not surprising when they are pushing so many interviews through.

What I would do, personally, is email Montreal and ask them how you can get them back.

I accidentally left my original BC with the consul when I interviewed in November, and emailed the embassy about wanting it back. They included it in the passport/visa package they sent me. Perhaps you can do the same and they will do that too!

POST INTERVIEW, PRE-POE -

There are two ways to 'get to the documents' without having a problem:

1. go back to the Embassy, have a ConOff open it. or

2. at the POE, ask for a senior staff member to open the sealed envelope, retrieve your documents.

Good Luck !

but I thought they are not supposed to open the sealed env. at POE either.

The sealed envelope is opened at the POE. They look at your documents then stamp your visa with the entry date... I think. Not sure how it works for CR-1s.

Yes same for CR1s - the envelope is opened at the border - that's where they take all your info from to input.
