Potomac is so much faster than any other service centers. I saw someone who filed last September to Potomac already has her visa in hand.... 

This is so unfair.. (sigh

Congratulations, Allison! 

What was the RFE for?

I was told to submit a photocopy of the original foreign language marriage certificate from which the English translation was made.

But the English marriage certificate I submitted is an official one issued by the government. There was no original foreign language marriage certificate.

The officer must have been mistaken.

So I went notarize the English marriage certificate and got a stamp stating that "this official document is attested at the ......" 

 

I guess that was because I submitted a black and white photocopy in the first place. I should've made a color copy.

Hi everyone! 

 

I'm not sure what to do with my translations (NVC).
Did you use ea professional translate in your country, or did you translate it yourself and get it notarized? I don't want to take any risks! 

 

Thanks so much,

Marie

Rose picked up the visas today. 2GO still has no record of them!  We are VOH!  No Manila envelope. The visa says “IV Docs on CCD”. What a long, strange trip it’s been.

Hurrah! 🎉Best of luck for your future and I hope the move goes smoothly, everyone settles in quickly, and you have a fantastic summer (and rest of your lives!) together :)
