Update on Spousal Visa...F**K*** Furious

[NikLR 13,232]

Thanks for all the comments. I am feeling a bit better today. Just got off the phone with NVC. They informed me the IV fee statement to pay is being setup and will be ready Monday/Tuesday to pay. They informed me if I want I can go ahead and send in the

spouses

-passport bio page

-orig Birth cert

-orig marriage cert

-cert police record

-two passport photos.

Even though all of those docs except for the police report and passport photos were included in the original I-130 docs. NVC shows no record they were transferred over. NVC's advise was to resend them so it does not slow the process down of having to request them from Nebraska which originally processed the I-130. She said it should take a total of 30-45 days more. Please advise me if there are any other docs that need to be included with the DS 260 form. I would hate to forget something. Thanks...James

Any beneficiary divorce decrees, military records etc should also be included. No originals or beneficiary docs (besides for the g-325a and passport phtoto) should have been sent with the I-130 so you may need to request those back from the USCIS. However if you can obtain certified copies quickly you can speed ahead. Also the 2 passport pics required now will be for her visa and green card.

no divorce, no military. I have read that it is best to have the cert birth cert and marriage cert translated again. Did it once for the I-130 but if need be will do it again to speed things up. Whats your take on the translation?...

It depends on the embassy or consulate. If you feel more comfortable, then do it. Better to cross off the "t" than not to. You don't need a special or expensive translation, just someone who is fluent in both languages who will certify that the translation is correct.
