NVC Filers - April 2014

[Avi_NM 10]

So last night we received a checklist from the NVC that states that my birth certificate was not a an original one or a certified copy but we submitted a certified copy of my birth certificate. Could this be a false checklist?

Hi Bella8,

Was the certified copy of the Birth Certificate that you have submitted to NVC issued by the local civil authorities (Municipal Birth Registrar, Department of Health, etc) or was it issued by the hospital?

Also, just to be clear notorized or attested photocopies are not certified copies.

If your birth certificate was issued by local civil authorities and you have submitted the actual certified copy then it might be a false checklist. You will have to call NVC to make sure that they did not lose the document that you submitted.

Good Luck.

the I-864EZ still uses the total income from line 22 on the 1040.. You use the adjusted gross income only if you filed the 1040EZ.

I used the total income from line 22 on my 1040.

Yes- sorry. That's correct . Can't believe your lawyer who you're paying tons of money to put the wrong figure down in the first place!

Thank you Oh, I will definately call them today and ask what is wrong with my certified copy. It`s just frustrating ...

I know every step of this nightmare is frustrating I was set back 3 months thanks to USCIS I know exactly how you feel. The good thing is

your at NVC wont be the same long wait or nasty people on the phones. Good luck but don't think you'll need it. (F)

So my birth certificate was translated into Englisch by a sworn intepreter and translator appointed by the resolution of the Regional court and was certified by a public notary. I don`t know what else should have been done ....

And my original birth certificate was issued by local civil authorities. But I have only one - that`s why I got one certified copy and translated it into English.....

So yes, I submitted a certified copy of my original birth certificate that was issued by local civil authority.

Hi Bella8,

Was the certified copy issued by the local civil authorities in German and you got it translated to English by the resolution of the Regional court and certified by a Public notary? And you included both the actual certified copy in German and the certified English translation copy in your package? If you have only included the certified English translation copy maybe that might be the issue.

Again, I am just trying to figure it out by guessing. Only NVC will be able to tell you for sure. I hope it is an easy fix of resending them what you already have.

The certified copy was issued by the public notary (public notary got of course my original birth certificate) and the certified copy was translated into English by a sworn intepreter and translator by the resolution of the Regional court.

I submitted 3 pages that were bind together with a thin cord. First page: Certified copy in German (with original stamp and signature), second page: the translation of the certified copy, third page: Clause of intepreter (with original stamp and copy).

I am curoius too what the issue is - will call and ask today ....

USCIS didn`t have a problem with my birth certificate... :-)

Wow...you have covered all the bases. Good for you.

It looks like it is a mistake on their part or it is just a false checklist. I hope everything is sorted out quickly.

Good Luck.

You received your Case Number 2 days after me and have a Case Complete. That's great. Was your case expedited? I'm still waiting...

No, my case was not expedited

Same troubles here.. It's no false checklist and even the lawyer is having a hard time to find out more about this issue. And the drama continues..

[LoveMyTico 999]

Remember, when it comes to NVC, no news is usually good news. You cc should be here in the next 2-3 days! Fingers crossed!!

I hope so... I really don't think they will nail me for not putting my expected income. Its actually alot more than the total income from last year. I am sure they will see that !

I wish they would just pick up my file and get the checklist over with !

[LoveMyTico 999]

Yes- sorry. That's correct . Can't believe your lawyer who you're paying tons of money to put the wrong figure down in the first place!

yep, I have a appointment tomorrow to sit down with 2 lawyers and the paralegal to get this waiver started. I plan on discussing the fee we paid so far since I did everything myself. IDK, I guess we'll see

We are working with a lawyer too and she will call them today. If they want something else then I honestly don`t know what to submit because I can`t give them more than a certified copy.....

Was your problem the birth certificate too?
