NVC Rejected Birth Cert & Marriage Cert

[Eduardo 209 1]

Hello Visa Journey family & friends,

 On our IR 1 VISA NVC Has TWICE rejected my wife"s  birth certificate and our marriage certificate , I am so confused as to why. I am the petitioner and live in California and my wife is in Colombia, we submitted both our original Colombian Marriage Certificate & her Birth certificate and had them also translated to English, notorized in California. Since this has happened to us twice I'm thinking the docs need to be translated to english notarized apostille done IN Colombia.

 

This is so frustrating and could use some wise advise.

 

thank you all and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Is the following note relevant as it might be a common issue???

Comments: When scanning  Birth, Marriage, Divorce, or Death Certificates, make sure to include scans of the front and back of your civil documents, even if the back is blank. This is to ensure that the information on the back is submitted.

 

Translations don't need notarized or apostille anywhere, just a self certification from whoever translated them.

Nothing to do with the translation or apostille. Focus on the authority that issued both certificates in the link given to you by the user above.

Maybe, but certainly important to read and understand the message.

Hello Eduardo,

 

I have the same problem you do The NVC has rejected twice my wifes birth certificate from Colombia she is from Cali. I live in the state of Georgia and is so frustrating she had to fly back to Colombia today from Panama where the embassy is at and she is gonna find out about her birth certificate becuase the message I have recieved twice is part of this document is missing or is hard to read. please feel free to contact me if you want my phone number is 470 549 3433 I have whatsapp or my fb is ricardo woodman. Every time they reject a document is 1 month of delay.
