I sent a package of docuents to my husband nearly 2 weeks ago and he is yet to recieve them. Most of them where just duplicates of documents we have sent in throughout our process that were repiditively advised to be taking along to the interview just in case. However there are a few items in there such as extra proof of our marriage, along with a copy of the original birth certificate we sent in. In the chance that he dosent have the documents in time i can email him sets of duplicates to print out. However the maritial proof i sent is originals and i have no copies to send as well as the copy of birth certificate. the birth certificate we had to send is his original issued in country of birth and can only be replaced by traveling to cameroon and filing for it in person. that being said it is a must for the birth certificate to be returned to him. so i am left with the folling questions:

1. if more proof of relationship is asked and he has none with him because of this delayed packeage will he be given extra time to provide it or will he simply get his visa denied?

2. without provinding them a copy of the original birth certificate he wishes to get back is there any chance he will be allowed have it back?(i never understand why they cant just copy it and give it back?)

3. are duplicate copies of documents such as I-130 and so on that you filed throughout your process really that important to have with you, as you have already sent them in once before and they were obviously approved if you know find yourself at a visa interview?

4. in a situation where a document is needed to be supplied to the interviewer and it is not available is there ever extra time given to provide that document or is it an automatic denial?

please help i am scared to death for my husband. i am just so incredibly nervous! i love him so much! even though he is living in germany he is originally from cameroon and i know sometimes just them seeing a word that has anyhting to do with africa will raise red flag!

thank you in advance for all advice and suggestions. As i dont have much time at all!

If they were to need something, they would give a slip saying they need thing X, Y, &/or Z before further processing would take place and that it would need to be provided by a certain date. His visa will not be denied outright in this situation.

3. are duplicate copies of documents such as I-130 and so on that you filed throughout your process really that important to have with you, as you have already sent them in once before and they were obviously approved if you know find yourself at a visa interview?

Duplicate copies of the I-130 form itself is not necessary for the interview. It is good to have copies of the I-864 and DS-230.

4. in a situation where a document is needed to be supplied to the interviewer and it is not available is there ever extra time given to provide that document or is it an automatic denial?

It's not an automatic denial, just an instruction to submit was is needed before the case can be processed further.

so in a situation of them requesting something he would have until that date to provide it. so once he obtained what was requested he would schedule an appointment to provide it and then he would then recieve his approval or denial of visa?

If that is a situation you and your husband are confronted with, you would need to ask the Consulate in Frankfurt for what the procedure is.

Thank God! I have just found a photocopy of the original birth certificate that I can scan and send to him if need be. I have copies of everyhting else besides the most recent maritial proof I had gathered in the last minute before sealing the package and mailing it off. Still praying the package is recieved just in case he is asked for more proof of our marriage. Enclosed was a letter from my bank stating that I attempted to change my account over to a joint account with my husband but they cant approve our request till he is present to sign the bank forms himself in person. I feel that is strong evidence and to me it is the next best thing to a joint account or atleast as close as I can get.
