Seeking assistance

[Bellpam 0]

I am currently filing for my mother. I have completed all my document and paid all my fees and my case is currently with NVC. I stated in my application my father is deceased and NVC is requesting for death certificate of my late father. My father died in 1989 and my mum doesn’t have death certificate.  How can I address this concern with NVC. Please assist. Thank you

She will have to obtain one, unless there is further clarification on the DOS reciprocity table for Ghana.
