Anyone know why that could be? I sent my marriage certificate at time of i130 and it was approved. I just received a checklist after sending my AOS for this same marriage certificate.

Depends what was the checklist for? details would help. What country? Did you needed it translated? Did you send oroginal, coipy ceritified? Again help us with abit more information too vague here.

So..I had the marriage certificate (nikkahnama) from Pakistan. USUALLY, they receive an Urdu nikkahanama and a translated English copy. Pakistan now offers an English one directly so you don't need to get it translated. As stated on the Pakistan Reciprocity Schedule ( http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country/PK.html ), “The original Nikah Nama is usually in Urdu and is required for consular processing of immigrant visas. The NADRA marriage certificate is not an acceptable substitute for the Nikah Nama. Attested translations of the Nikah Nama should be provided. In some larger jurisdictions, such as Karachi and Lahore, an original English Nikah Nama may be given upon request.”. I was married in Karachi and had requested an English Nikah Nama as the original rather than the Urdu one to avoid any issues with translation.

I guess they didn't realize that when reviewing at the NVC.. I just wanted to know if they DID realize this and approved at I130 time.

UGH FRUSTRATING!

If it is correct, I'd just send another copy and a printout of that with appropriate parts highlighted. I'd briefly explain it in a short cover letter too.

We had our marriage in a different country, but we also have 2 different marriage certificates - one only in Danish and one in 5 or 6 different languages, including English, and it was not a problem.

I'd bet they probably hadn't seen it before.

To add to my heartache.. I had sent marriage certificates on January 22nd and NVC had received them. I found out on the phone February 1 that this was why I was rejected, so I sent a letter with the information I posted earlier. FedEx said NVC received it February 3rd, but I have received no scan email and the NVC rep on the phone has stated they have received NOTHING.

I'm hesitant in sending the copy of the letter again because I'll have to wait ANOTHER 60 days when I'll be getting a response to just the marriage certificate mail in less than a month (according to 60 day timeline). Reason I'm asking about the USCIS and NVC disparity is to find out if there's a chance just my marriage certificate will get approved.. maybe USCIS realized the original being in English thing?

Also, I also sent an email to NVC inquiry on February 1st with all this information as to why my marriage certificate is correct. I got a 60 day notice for that email as well..so I'm praying that the email has SOME effect..
