it is ok all you need to do is send us the copy of everything that you sent to the USCIS + proof why we cant send the original .

You are asking your question in someone's K-1 thread. The K-1 does not have the same forms and procedures as the I-130 and CR-1 spousal visa. You should start your own topic in the proper forum >http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/110-ir-1-cr-1-spouse-visa-process-procedures/

At the top right there is a blue button that says 'Start New Topic'. Click that and post your question there to get the answers you need.

It's unfortunate you did not discover this site before you sent your petition because original documents (e.g. marriage certificate) are never sent to USCIS, only photocopies. NVC requires original documents and despite the efforts you have taken at this point, they may issue you a checklist for the original documentation.

I would advise to start working on getting certified copies of those documents right away. Even if NVC accepts it for some reason, you still have to present them at Embassy. But there is high likelihood that you will be checklisted for not submitting the originals or certified copies to NVC.

many have done this and NVC still requires originals or certified copies of originals. USCIS doesn't forward original documents they keep and its a 6 month long form process to get your originals back.

So get the originals or certified copies.

Agreed.

Give it few more days for NVC to review as it has been almost two weeks. Once you get checklisted (most likely) send the originals with the barcoded coversheet that comes with the checklist.

If they accept it with your justification, you might want to bring your originals to the interview.

[Rahstyles 10]

Dude your not supposed to send the uscis originals anyway only copies

[romio113 0]

hi everyone!!!

we applied for i-130, get approved from the USCIS may 14 2013

how long time does the NVC take to email me back after sending DS-230 ad I-864 package buy the way i did send them in 2 weeks ago

---all the fees are payed

---the packages that we send saying delivered

the only thing is that we send them copies of everything not original as they said because the original went already to the USCIS when we applied for the i-130 .and where i live i am not able to get another original marriage contract but i could get birth cert and police report but it take so long time time

so we called the NVC and explain to them the situation and everything and they said we just need to proof that we gave the original to the USCIS and they gonna check on them and on my first case , so we did send them copies of all the original .

now my questions are !!!!

is there anybody get to that point before with the NVC ?

is that normal ?

how long time does the NVC take to finish the process of the case and schedule and interview ?

and how there gonna contact me?

You will have to wait for either checklists or for a case complete email. Can take up to 20 business days (no weekends or holidays) for them to review each part.

[pushbrk 12,883]

Correct, but you may well have to call NVC's attention to the fact you made the mistake of sending original documents to USCIS. I think you mean that some of the originals were sent to USCIS, as the birth certificate of the foreigner and police report would not have gone in with the petition.

[Darnell 8,478]

although you had a conversation with a human at NVC -

did you cover this conversation in a cover letter with the IV set ? If not, expect a checklist letter already.

[romio113 0]

well we was suppose to start getting ready to get another original but after we called them that's what they said and yes i cover this conversation in a cover letter with the IV set

it has been 15 days from sending the package and no update from them yet. after discovering this amazing website http://www.visajourney.com and read lots of issue and problems, and getting lots of information . i wonder where were this website when i was looking for help anyway now i have all the original DOC again in hand already after a hard work getting them again just in case of RFE.

just wanna know what is going on with my case

Edited July 18, 2013 by romio113

[Darnell 8,478]

that's great you submitted bits of 'that conversation' in a cover letter, explaining what's what.

In a bit - what you submitted will wind it's way from the mail room to a reviewer's desk.

There's a queue, aye?

You can always call NVC and inquire about casefile status, no worries there.
