Amiga, es prohibido hablar cualquier idioma que no sea ingles en el sitio, aparte del foro de latinoamerica que se encuentra aqui: http://www.visajourn...-south-america/

Como respuesta a su pregunta: todos los documentos para el paso en NVC tienen que ser originales; por lo tanto, tanto el partida de nacimiento como el registro de matrimonio deben ser las versiones largas donde todo fue originalmente escrito a mano. No estoy muy segura de donde exactamente se encuentran estos documentos para Colombia, pero usted puede ir al foro de latinoamerica a preguntar a otros colombianos que pueden ser de mas ayuda. Y por favor, en el futuro, que todos su comentarios sean en ingles para que todos pueden entender y ayudar.

(Friend, it's prohibited to speak any language apart from English on this site, aside from the Latin America subforum, which is found here: http://www.visajourn...-south-america/

The answer to your question: all documents needed for the NVC stage must be originals, so both the birth certificate and marriage certificate have to be the long versions that were originally hand written. I'm not entirely sure where these documents can be found in Colombia, but you can go to the Latin America forum to ask other Colombians, who can be more helpful. And please, in the future, write all your comments in English so that everyone can understand and help.)

I have read that your documents can be certified or originals. These are the only ones Military and Police report that have to be originals.

I meant originals as in not a photocopy, but a certified copy. For birth/marriage certificates, they have books where they write all the information and keep their records, so technically even the "original" would be a certified copy, since they're obviously not going to rip the page out of the original record book.

why nobody answered or shared any experiences regarding error of name of the petitioner? we are quite disappointed to experience this coz we wrote our names clearly with supporting docs.

If you go to this website https://egov.uscsg...is/Dashboard.do Then go to Check My Case Status and put your number in it will tell you where you are in the process. It also will give you a written statement.

I wanted to show our path to a happy marriage and now waiting for a visa for my wife and the kids

I met my wife on OKcupid Brazil. we talked for about a year then wanted to meet and talked about marriage.

I wanted to show my path I went to Brazil on November 23. 2012 and met my wife we courted for more than a month. We lived together in her home and I also was able to meet her children. I ask her at a family BBQ to marry me and we were engaged on December 12. We were married on January 15, 2013 we went on two honeymoons one to Rio de Janeiro and when I left in February we went to Cabo Frio for the week before I left. Left on February 17 from Rio de Janerio arrived home USA 18. We lived together for close to three months now talk every day. I am going back to Brazil in June for her birthday. It hard being apart and want this separation to be over. I want her here in my home in the US with the girls my family.

Call and ask them to change it. They got my address wrong and after calling multiple times they refuse to change it. So I contacted the ombudsman. They should be able to change your name I would think.

Filed from Canada on March 8th.

NOA1 received on Mar 12. File seems to be at NBC (file # starts with MSC which apparently is the same as NBC)

Still waiting for NOA2.

Looks like some people are getting approved in under 40 days. I wonder if approval times are still that quick.

Fingers crossed.

Thank you. yes, we did call and spoke with IO and she managed to change petitioner's name on file ( since our case is already at NBC) and advised us to follow-up in 15 days with the confirmation number given and so an update to our case.

I'm sorry, but why does everyone think they'll get their NOA2 so quickly? By May or June? I'd be over the moon. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm confused. I thought the wait for NOA2 was around 6 months!

late Feb Filers have already been showing a great deal of NOA2 activity on that thread.....I think that's a good sign
