Green Card Application for Parents - One DQ-ed, Other asking for more documents

[TJ7 0]

Hello everyone,

US Citizen here. I appleid for GC for my parents sometime ago. 

Literally the same documents / paperwork was submitted for my father and my mother. We uploaded everything electronically in Sep 2021. Yesterday evening I received an email from NVC regarding my father's case. I logged onto the CEAC website to see two notes.

1. Asking for "an acceptable marriage certificate from a correct issuing authority."

2. Asking me to submit all 1099's for 2020. [Only then did I realize I totally missed out on submitting the 1099-G I received last year for a brief period of Unemployment I had last year.]

 

I was about to call my agent back in India (who helped with the document collection/ upload) this morning when I got another email from NVC. This time, regarding my mother's case. I was expecting to see the same notes.

Except.

The email notified that my mother's application is now documentary qualified, that NVC will now work with the Mumbai consulate to schedule her interview.

 

Same documents, two entirely different results. I understand different officers looked at each file and came to their own decisions. Even then... 

I am very curious to find out if anyone else here has ran into a similar situation and, how they navigated/ resolved the case.

 

Looking forward to hearing thoughts/ comments from this amazing mind hive.

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

Happy holidays

My best,

T

Which date in September did you upload the docs 

Around mid of the month. Dont remember the exact date.

With this issue I think it was because different offices reviewed that same docs and since they have different views and experience surely this can happen, so as it stands now you just have to comply to their demands by re-uploading the required docs again cos you can't  turn to challenge them on it so read through the review msg and upload the exact docs they are demanding Calling them to enquire may be another option but I think it may prompt them to look in into those ones that were accepted again and if not lucky it may cause delays with the one that already DQ.

I see what you mean. It is quite an interesting position to be in - to say the least !

Should be fine. Usually Father’s are required to prove their relationship with the mother hence a marriage certificate is requested.

Similar issue if a father petitions for a child need to also provide marriage certificate.

 

And as far as 1099 may be because you may have submitted 1040 and not the TAX Transcript from IRS which is also fine. Just submit it. Usually use the tax transcript from IRS  and they don't ask for W2s and 1099, every thing is in there which can be obtained online.

Thought I'd update this thread. My parents finally got their interviews scheduled at the Mumbai consulate. Oddly enough they did not get their interviews together. In fact my father had his interview first in Nov 2022 (I had imagined his might be delayed based on the request for additional documents). My mother had hers a couple months later, in Jan 2023.

 

Happy to report that both got their green cards approved.

Thank you for your help everyone. Much appreciated. 🙏🏾
