back ground checks on beneficiaries

[Maritah 101]

Maybe I am confused. When I fiancee and I discussed this, she went to the civil registry in Colombia, and was told she needed to go to the Notary office where the birth was recorded in order to get a copy of the original. Well, that was no easy task because she didn't have a clear copy of it either, and as such, when I go at Christmas, we will travel to city where she was born, to go to the Notary office where it is kept. On the top of the ragged copy she had, was the name of the Notary that which the BC was registered. I googled it, and as such, it was not a government office, but a long established private notary. On their webpage, it addressed how to obtain copies of the original BC. I know the process how the attorney here told me to document any prepared documents, like then intent to marry, and the notary office, in Colombia, notarized hers. It was not an apostille, it was a private notary. I did the same here, with the translation, and I had mine notarized. The immigration attorney here, is quite familiar with Mexico's rule of law, and that of central and south american countries, and where to obtain documents and document their existence, since latin america is about 99% of their practice. He told me exactly how to deal with this, the purpose of the notary, in the eyes, of USCIS and the NVC. I understand the difference between legal systems. I also understand, after being quite familiar with Colombia, over the last 7 years more, the bureaucratic system in which the government operates. Yes, I do understand how Notaries work. I do understand Apostilles, and I do understand the difference of civil registry and the notaries in Colombia. Here we call it the vital statistics office, and it is decentralized to the state level. Private notaries here don't have an office and don't archive documents.

i wasn't asking about all of this, i simply asked a question if there was a way to document her employment, in a manner in which to avoid undue AP time, if in fact it was an issue for the post interview back ground checks, given the remoteness, in relation to Bogota, in city which she lives? If its data base mining, then it doesn't matter, if its investigatory time, then it seems it would carry some weight. Sorry for taking up so much of your time with this..
