Birth certificate denied

So he applied for the visa with your last name or his maiden name? You can get a certificate of name change. He can change his name back again if he so desires. In fact, if his visa name and name on his passport are not your last name, it would be advisable at this point.

As far as I have seen, he will get the originals back if you request them at the embassy. They will mail them back with the visa.

The problem I see is if he changes his name in Denmark, in the USA this isn't customarily done and the NVC may be having the issues with that. So the option of course would be to wait for the supervisor review to finish because they normally have a better idea of how things can work outside the USA vs the normal people who review cases.

Yes..Gonna sit this out now...I just find all of this incredible,to jump thru all of this..I guess its because we are older and that's not the normal?

It sounds like you are getting very emotional over a technical procedural issue that can be easily remedied by following the prescribed procedure. And it is just as stressful and difficult for everyone, they aren't picking on you because of age or anything else. I don't know why people think bringing new people into any first world country should be easy peasy, when NOTHING involving the government is ever easy, straightforward or quick. In particular, the US government is designed to be that way. Just try to relax and not take these roadblocks personally.

It's not just America either. As an aside, I've been waiting for 17 months for my Australian TEMPORARY residency visa.

Yes..Thank you both ..its just so frustrating I guess to wait as they (nvc) were so quick to take the money..as Ive said Im retired Army so I know the wait game..and his paperwork is filed under his Real name Jensen..he was eagar to change it to my name..all paperwork is Under his original name..Im just frustrated..well we both are as its been a very long hauland a wait..and to have such a simple issue arise and the fact he sent hs original paperwork that he cant ever get again is very scary..for us both..we have clean slates..never been in trouble and we are old..Just this is very frustrating

If his passport and the visa is going to be in his maiden name, then I would file to have the name changed back. Then, none of this will be an issue. It is not so good if his Danish passport is in a different name than his legal name.

Sounds weird to me, i am Australian and no matter how many times i change my name like being married twice my birth certificate will always be in my maiden name cos thats the name i was registered at birth. And just some advice... no use getting anry , it does not solve anything, my husband is American and He had a problem with His birth certificate at first too. So take a deep breath, leave your anger behind and work out where to go from here and then do it... sounds like he needs to check on his end what he can do now to work out what to do about his birth certificate... read the advice that others have given you here and plan on what your next step is... good luck and hope you work it out
