IV Package - documents rejected

[alja322 0]

Dear fellow members, wondering if any of you had documents rejected and what have you done to fix it?

I sent my dad's visa package, and 3 documents were not accepted:

- Certified copy of dad's birth certificate (issued by ZAGS - equivalent of department of vitals statistics) containing original seal and signature

- Certified copy of dad's marriage certificate (issued by the same authority as above). Both originals were lost years ago that's why we requested certified copies.

- Original Police clearance certificate with notarized translation and translator's declaration.

There is no explanation why these were not accepted. The checklist I got from NVC only contains copied and pasted instructions from reciprocity by country section on travel.state.gov which we had followed when obtaining the documents. I called NVC and was told that they can take a look second time, but it will take another 3 weeks.

Did any of you had similar experience? Wondering if I should start gathering anything else?

I would assume it is because you sent something that was not from the "original" that were lost years ago. You have some leg work to do unfortunately. If you are not getting clear answers, contact your Senator or Congress Rep and ask that their Immigration specialist help you out.
