Norway, I am so sorry. Do you mind letting us know the exact wording?

Thank you. It said:

 

"This document does not have a certified English translation. Please replace this document with a certified English translation and the original language document."

 

My husband called NVC and they said that it should've been approved but they can't do anything about it now so they sent the case to a supervisor. They said they had no idea when they would be able to look at it

Any new case numbers off late ? Non pivot

I am so sorry to hear that! There is no rhyme or reason. Same with the international birth certificate issues. We are currently waiting for our second checklist.

 

Norway, one more thing: If you handed in the original document in your native language - I thought you don't need a certified translation?

yaaaayyy!! My wife visa status changed to ISSUED last night. Finally our journey is about to be over. 

 

Just a note to Islamabad folks, CO gave us 221g on pictures without makeup so we went back and re-submit the pics without makeup at the same day. It took them 3 days to update our case and after 2 days it changed to ISSUED.

 

Thanks to VJ family!!

Congrats.

Tomorrow is mine interview at Islamabad embassy.

Hope everything goes well😇

Oh no! Did they make you get a whole new one? What is wrong with your international one?

 

I guess I don't even know! I just got the certificates in a multilingual format from the government just to be on the safe side; it's in Norwegian, French, German, and English on one paper and it's signed and everything from a government official so I don't know why it wouldn't be ok.

Still awaiting case # here, I am at the 8 weeks. Called today and still no number so they escalated to a supervisor with another 6 week possible wait. Fingers crossed it comes in the next week or two.

I called them to get my case # (I am at 7 weeks) the case was not in their system so the person escalated to a supervisor. When I asked by when does it "normally" show up in their system, he did quick calculation and said it should have showed up on xxx day, which when calculated is 40 days ( for people waiting, note this this number is minium waiting as of now, can improve or deteriorate in the future).

 

Guess there is a common que and it doesn't matter which visa category.

Norway, I have no idea, really. I know from the military spouse community, that international birth certificates were accepted until recently. However, another petitioner got a checklist for sending that same international birth certificate while another did not. Upon calling the NVC, I was told that they need the birth certificate in German only. And someone else in this forum got the message that it really boils down to whom they have sitting in front of your application. It apparently varies from one case to another.

Does anyone know if resubmitting a document on CEAC before one expects a checklist sets the clock back to day one?

 

We initially submitted the AOS and DS-260 plus documents on May 7th/8th. Got a checklist on May 24th for a document that was previously totally acceptable. 

 

We have had no review of our resubmitted documents so far. If I would upload something now, would it set back the time?

[Sdkmu 51]

Does any one know the time from receiving an email that my case sent to the Department of state TO actually NVC receiving it ? 

[Visa2017 18]

I paid the IV fee on the 7th and it got cleared from my bank account couple days ago, but still does not show as paid and DS-260 is still locked. How long utill I can fill it?

Gosh that really stinks. So maybe that's the problem with mine as well? Since I guess you could consider it international because of all the languages? However that wouldn't explain why they would then want a certified translation of the native language one.. So you are just submitting a new one in only German? Or with a certified translation? This whole process is so confusing.

Congrats! What is 221g? You mean they are not accepting pics without makeup? They want pics with makeup?
