Hi all,
Myself (Irish Citizen) and wife (US Citizen) were notified by USCIS that our CR1/IR1 case is documentarily qualified.
However, in preparation for our embassy interview in Dublin next week (now cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions in Ireland) I checked back online on our civil documents on the CEAC website to ensure I had printed copies of everything, and saw that our marriage cert had been rejected with the following response note from the consular officer:
YOUR MARRIAGE CERT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS IT IS NOT YOUR LONG FORM CERTIFICATE. PLEASE SCAN YOUR LONG FORM CERTIFICATE WHICH SHOWS PARENTAL DETAILS INTO YOUR CASE. PLEASE SCAN THE CORRECT CERT INTO YOUR CASE
Accordingly, we've sent an application for a long form cert to the city clerk of New York City, where we were married. Hoping it comes in time to upload it before the interview is rescheduled.
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this rejection before? I never read anywhere when preparing the I-864 materials that an extended marriage cert was needed, so I was confused to receive this note from the consular officer. We only got a regular short-form cert when we were married.
Secondly, the consular officer referenced our parental details being on the long-form certificate, but I can't find any sample doc online that shows parental details on a long-form marriage cert. Does anyone have a long-form marriage cert, and does it show your parents' details?
Thanks a lot for your insights in advance!
