I called the NVC today and they said that I needed to submit my mothers orginal birth certificate and orginal marriage license. I had sent them a certified copy of the birth certificate and a copy (not certified) of the marriage license. The birth certificate is not an issue but my mother does not have the original of her marriage certificate. She has was divorced from my father in 2000 and my father has since passed away. I sent the NVC certified copied of the divorce decree and my father's death certificate so I am really confused as to why they insist on us sending the original marriage certificate. Has anyone been in a position where you have been unable to provide an original that the NVC requested and how can I get past this? I really cant wait to be done with the NVC.

I have been in a similar situation where I provided the original certifate but NVC thoughtnit was a copy. I would call and speak to them. Explain your situation. If you can speak with a supervisor. A supervisor reviewed my situation and closed my case withou the originals ( providing I brought them to the interview). It's not the same situation but worth speaking to a supervisor about.

Good luck.

What country is your mother from? In Mexico and in the U.S. you can get an original marriage certificate pretty easily. You just have to contact the city where the marriage was performed.
