Hello fellow VJ'ers! I'm in desperate need of help! I was told my ds-230 was accepted but not my marriage cert. I was told it needed to be legalized in Santo Domingo. I told hubby and he went ahead and did just that. I was just told that it was once again not accepted yet everything they asked for he did. I was told by a spanish speaking supervisor that it need to be the extensive and legalized MC from the estado civil with the codigo de barra(bar code) on the back. That it also needs to say Acta Inextensa(detailed merriage cert) de matrimonio and all that they are asking for is on there!! I am shaking with all this anger because we are doing what they are saying and still nothing? What in the world is gong on? Has this happened to anyone before? I have attached what he has sent if any questions

Your welcome I did a Google search and found the info , you may want to google that and see what they accept as acceptable translator ... It seems theirs a certain format they want . Also if that dosnt do it then you might need to make an info pass appointment Im not sure about this as ive not had to go this route maybe a more experienced person can guide you through that if its needed. Good luck you guys!

Well i called them a little while ago and they told me it doesn't need to be translated so i dont know.

I was told that the translation was fine it's the back on the Acta De Inextensa does not say Oficina central de estado civil but where they told me where he needed to go and he went exactly there and that is what they out. I am completely confused with these people.

Your marriage certificate looks like mine and it was accepted according to the checklist I was sent with packet 4. I sent in the original with a copy and a notarized translation just in case.
