Hello, everyone! I'm currently facing an issue and could use some advice. I recently received a response from the NVC regarding the civil documents I uploaded, and unfortunately, my birth certificate was rejected. The message I received stated:

 

"Please replace this with an acceptable birth certificate from the correct issuing authority."

 

I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience when submitting an Argentinian birth certificate to the NVC? My birth certificate is an official digital copy with a digital signature from the government office, along with a verification code, apostille, and translation, as specified in the Reciprocity Schedule for Argentina.

 

Do any of you have any insights on what I can do in this situation? I followed the guidelines precisely, but my birth certificate still got rejected. Are there any fellow Argentines here who might have encountered a similar issue and can provide some guidance? Or perhaps anyone else has an idea of the best way to handle this situation? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Hi!  Welcome!

Can you please fill out your timeline?

 

Is this for which kind of visa?  We are going to need some details.

 

From your original post, it sounds like you did submit everything correctly.  Just to confirm, the certified official digital copy is the one from the Registro de las Personas of your province?  Also, it is the Acta de Nacimiento documment, correct?  It should come with two pages, which sound like what you mentioned of the government official's signature with the coding.  For the apostille, which apostille do you have?  The translation should not be an issue.

 

Just trying to figure out what is missing.

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

If it is truly the birth certificate per the reciprocty schedule, then provide them a printout of the schedule as explanation

Hi Fe.Ta!

 

Thank you so much for responding! :)I am sponsoring my mother for an IR5 visa. Everything is already approved except my birth certificate. My birth certificate is from the city of Buenos Aires, and has all the requirements stated on the Argentina reciprocity which is the digital signature, and the verification code. Additionally, the birth certificate is accompanied by an apostille from de La Haya, a translation, and it has its own apostille as well.
