I am so sorry. Checklists are awful and whats worst is it is not your fault. You followed the instructions. I am so sorry. Hang tight and send them the information as early as you can. Try speaking to a supervisor once the information is send hopefully they can approve it in a week or so. Good Luck

 

Thank you for the encouragement!

Please don't give up ye and dont send any docs yet, as this will reset your scan date . If you are sure that the website says otherwise, Fight  for it and pray all goes well too. I'm currently going through the same thing. You dont necessarily need a lawyer. Not sure what they know about these matters. Mine wanted us to resend the birth certificate. I had to prevail on them not to resend anything and instead try and resolve this by contacting NVC.

I will recommend that you first collect your facts, get the link and quote exactly what it says, than call NVC between 7 and 8:30 am ET you will easily be connected to a supervisor at that time. Then calmly state your case to a supervisor. Chances are they will, at least agree to have a second supervisor take another look at your case to determine the merit of your fact. Then keep calling and requesting for a supervisor until you can confirm that is true. I just discovered that even the reps have the country-specific guidelines from the US dept of state and will check to confirm your claims. So  even if all you get is a rep, If they find it to be true. They will put a note for a supervisor's review for you. If you get a grouchy rep, hang up and keep calling till you get a nice one.

This morning i got a nice rep who advised me to send the docs in an email with a note explaining what the website says. I have also sent the email and i got a response saying my correspondence is currently being reviewed and they will revert to me once they are done. So now i'm waiting on news on the 2nd review.

Thank you for being supportive. Really appreciate how encouraging people are here. I called them and mentioned that birth certificates are basically non-existent for someone for my father's age born in the backyard of someone's house and household registration is what people used, which is also mentioned on the website. The rep was looking at the website with me and unfortunately he doesn't get any other information apart from "birth certificate" missing. But he said he sent an email to supervisor with my concern. Hopefully I'll hear back from them.

finger cross!!!

this situation is annoying, the household registration is what we usually use in Taiwan, whatever they expect it, we don't have la~~~ and the document is from government too!!

No, I can request to have it expedited by emailing nvcexpedite@state.gov with our info and the reason for expedite, and she said the embassy might look into it or something like that, but at any rate I'll give it a try.. 

You'll still most likely go through normal processing times at NVC, but the consulate (if your expedite is approved) would schedule an appt when they receive your info from NVC rather than waiting for the "scheduling week" every month.  Still ... every little bit of time helps :-)

Make sure when you send your request, include all evidence such as your wifes visitor visa, the extension permission etc.
