NVC forwards case (yay) lost original birth certificate (what!)

[Afrilaskan Queen 0]

Last document from NVC in forwarding our case states (in reference to my husband's original birth certificate): "The applicant has informed the NVC that the required document (birth certificate) is unavailable."

This is not possible. The National Visa Center removed his birth certificate from the NVC"Response Checklist" once received. I confirmed by phone that all original documents were received. Now when our case is going to the Consulate they state the above, I'm so puzzled, does this mean our document is lost? NVC has no information and I am having a hard time getting a response to any email inquiry.

The attorney says we can bring a copy to the interview, but I have a bad feeling about that being as this is a high fraud country and we've spent nearly 5 years together and I don't want a lost birth certificate in the way.

Also there was an error on our response checklist, NVC asked for a police certificate for Benin Republic, my husband didn't live there but I am told it is best to get the certificate since it was asked for (NVC wrote it was not applicable to get the Benin PC). But I cannot find where on earth to go in Benin Republic for the appropriate police station or casier judiciarie.. The attorney advised that they will ask for it, I believe they will too.

I wrote my senator's office because at the moment all of this seems huge since I've been trying to work on the police certificate since end of April and I am wondering where my husband's original birth certificate is hanging out. I think I will get some rest because I'm a bit frazzled.

I've been on the phone and in the email non-stop it seems since beginning of May and sooo happy our case finally completed! I had some awful strange experiences along the way.

There was a man in Washington D.C. at the Benin Embassy that asked if I had children with my husband and I said no, he said why - I laughed uncomfortably in which he then recommended I call him when he is in the UK and I could help him immigrate and he would give me lots of babies!

I feel like I'm in a bizaare sort of soap opera. I imagine everyone on this site who runs into snags feels similarly. If you have any info. on the above issues I would appreciate it. If not, well I've had my "I've had it for today" moment rant.

Gosh girl you know my prayers are with you and I am routing for you. They have managed to screw about everything up for you. I wish I had some answers for you. I really hope this gets resolved and your hubby gets his interview and you two are together soon. Keep your head up B, you are almost there.
