hello fellow VJers!

Alrighty...so in an attempt to find out what exactly they sent out the RFE on Friday for...I called the NVC to inquire...the lady who answered me was very nice asking for the necessary info, etc...and then I told her that the automated response system states that there is something missing or incomplete...she took a minute to look...then GUESS WHAT SHE TOLD ME???

they were missing the MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!

I replied to her in shock...asking how because I clearly remember placing the originial marriage certificate with the translation from arabic in the DS-230 packet of forms...she asked me are you sure? I SAID YES!!!!!!!! I wanted to faint at that point...its like they lost it and do not want to admit it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So she told me they would "investigate" and it would take 10-15 days to find out if they "overlooked it"...this really frustrates me...so I am going to wait another two weeks when I sent in the forms already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! way to go NVC...you have done it once again...

someone please calm me down and tell me it will be ok...thanks

the question now is...

should i wait the 10-15 days...and maybe something will turn up in the "investigation"....or should I request another marriage certificate and translation all over again....has anyone else requested this so called investigation and if so did the documents turn up?? please inform me soon...this process has become a nuisance....and i just broke down in tears today thinking...wow the NVC lost my paperwork and now the delay will be even greater for our reunion with one another...inshAllah everything will be ok....I HOPE

I really hope everything will turn up for you DillyDally, I can't belieave of how much of this is going on with the NVC losing forms so easily. I am too right behind you waiting inline to hear what they need from me next and I hate to hear something like this for my case as well. Gud luck!!

I just hope that you made an exact copy of DS230 application with documents before you sent it in. If you did, ask them if you can re-submit your DS230 electronically. If you can show them you indeed sent the document in with the rest of the requirements, all you have to really do is to validate that and show them you did. It happened to me, I didn't need to send in the "missing documents".

Good luck!

They lose and then they find. They are in too much of a rush going through files. It will probably be found, it is there, it just needs another review.

hey dillydally don't worry they will find your marriage certificate... Did you write your NVC case number on all the documents that you sent. That is the best way to ensure that they don't get lost and if they do then it is easier for those NVC people (good for nothing idiots ) to find it.

anyways take care Inshallah everything will be fine

Hi

Dilly Dally dont worry ... i am with you.... it must be in the file and they have overlooked it and i think they are giving silly reasons to delay the cases...( dont know why ???)... they Hung my payment of IV bill for 37 days.... and I felt I should go and bang my head against the wall.... I am still waiting... in last leg of the journey... If nothing happens in 5 working days like on the next friday you calll them and find out if they have located your certificate, try to talk to their supervisor tooo... and If nothing happpens I think you will have to submit new certificate.

I hope your tension ends sooon... God Blesss You

thank you all for your support i truly appreciate it...when things like this happens its great to know that i have a support system here on VJ but yes I did send in the original...the funny thing is i called them twice...the first woman told me it was missing completely and they never received it...the other told me that the marriage certificate was not "stamped appropriately"...what does that mean???????? I told her it was the original and the translation was the original as well...so she said we will look into it...ugh...Allah give me the patience because right now I am so upset

...i know i'm a little late with this...but it's so funny because the same thing happened to meeee!!

i called them so many times while i was filling out the DS230 packet and i asked them over and over again about the marriage certificate...because from the paperwork, it seemed like i could just send in the original official translation of my marriage certificate and they said that's fine...and i told them specifically "okay, so i will not be sending in the ARABIC marriage certificate then....JUST the original, official ENGLISH translation!!" and they always replied "yes, that's fine".....then i receive a letter a few weeks later telling me that i'm missing the arabic marriage certificate...i knew right away that they were just coming up with something to slow the process down......

they also did this with the affidavit of support!! i specifically remember placing everything in the envelope--i check these things over a million times before sending them out...and they still send me a letter a few weeks later asking that i send papers in again because i was missing them........ridiculous!!!!! alhamdulillah that part's done with.....now i'm just praying everything goes well in cairo!! ya rab!!

good luck with everything!!

no no noooo...stayy strong!!

i know, they are extremely annoyinggg!! and they are just so slow and it really gets frustrating..

its difficult having someone else doing this for you, because then you have a middle man who could be making the mistakes...when i was filling out all those papers, i mean the ds230...i would call them over and over and over again and ask a milllion questions...even if you ask the same questions twice...sometimes you'll get a different answer from each worker...one woman told me that we'd never have to do the medical exam weirdo...i definitely asked that again and again until i got an answer that sounded normal...

anyway, stay strong..everything will pass and be okayy its alllllllllll worth it in the end!!
