Are we required to send notarized copies of civil documents or just copies ?

 

Marriage certificate, birth certificate, police certificate (not required but i will send), passport biodata

 

also

 

how are you guys organizing your papers ? paperclips, staples or ring binders ? ring binder is best but they will compromise the authenticity of the copy of the document ?

Im a little confused when people talk about dates..

When it's said 11 weeks for nvc, do they mean once nvc receive from USCIS? Or once you send in your package to NVC with documents ? Tia x 

once you send all your documents to NVC, 11 weeks starts then

Note there are general NVC guidelines, you can see them on the NVC site, you SHOULD be reading that site as it is the source of truth, this guide is very helpful on understanding the process.

It can take up to 60 calendar days to review packages. This INCLUDES checklists. So, this means 60 days to review the initial packages

 

its important to note that the embassy/consulate may have additional requirements, for example, I saw for mind I need a long form birth certificate, this is not something I need to send to the NVC.

So be sure to check local country requirements as that time approaches.

 

I just used paper clips and organized it as per the guide on this site

if any of your documents need to do notarized, you will need to send copies of both original and notarized documents..FYI.. you will need send police certificate (NVC website explained specific requirement for that) and this is mandatory not optional. Use paper clips .Staples or ring binder are not good idea

Checking in:

Good news...my checklist MIGHT just be a misunderstanding! They thought that I lived with my parents so they thought it was an error when my dad filled as "Sponsor" not realizing that he is a joint sponsor, instead of my household member. All I had to do was send a confirmation letter stating that I don't live with my parents. So HOPEFULLY they will process it quickly!

So, TIP FOR YOU ALL: If you have a joint sponsor that you don't live with, be sure to include a statement that very clearly states that the joint sponsor is indeed a joint sponsor and NOT your household member. 

I hope that's not confusing...haha

Good luck to us all!!

That's great, I'm surprised they didn't make you go through administrative processing for that.
