the marriage index may be a case to case basis. YES i was asked for it during my interview but others have not. when i asked the CO why i was asked for that document and why it was not written in the interview instruction as part of the requirements, she told me that they used to require that before but it momentarily stopped, but they are somehow bringing it back coz they found out there were women who got married twice without them knowing beforehand since they put more emphasis on knowing if petitioner has been married multiple times (not paying close attention to the benificiaries)

i guess it's just a way for them to check if the benificiary has only been married once and to whom she/he was married to. securing the marriage index at this point is your choice. you may be asked for it, you may be not. but who cares if they do or don't, as long as you have it with you then there's nothing to worry. do as you please at your on risk, but i'd advise you to secure one if you can, don't pressure yourself.

personally, i brought EVERYTHING i could possibly think of that they'll need..ITR, W2s, my husband's employment records, my medical records, bank staements, etc (everything! name it, i have it! lol) but they never asked for it! lol :angry: instead, the document i least expected they'd want from me (MARRIAGE INDEX) was the ONLY thing they want...

It is better to have documents and not need them to need documents and not have them. My wife did not need a Marriage Index or even a Cenomar but we had them anyhow.

I would be more concerned with the DV because they will almost always verify a marriage certificate. We paid the DV fee over 1 month before the interview date but still are being delayed because of this DV proces. My wife's interview was September 11 and still as October 5 she has not received her visa yet. Also pink slip does not mean you will get the visa right away because she also got a pink slip along with a white paper but absolutely nothing was marked on the white paper.

The consular told her everything was fine when she finished her interview so we are assuming that the delay is the DV which we confirmed at NSO that her document is in process with them.

I forgot to mention. A good word of advice is to not make travel arrangements until you have your visa in hand because if you do it may cost you more in the long run if you run into any delays especially with the DV.

Could you please define your code language of the term “DV” as it is not provided in the VisaJourney.com list of definitions of terms, form numbers, abbreviations. Thanks

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

DOCUMENT VERIFICATION is crucial. You should pay it 6 weeks before your interview, coz DV takes 4-6 weeks to process. There are other DVs that took more than 6 weeks.

*sigh* I paid DV 2 weeks before my interview..... and look at me now. Still waiting for my visa.

I have to wait for my case to be completed at the NVC and forwarded to the USEM before I can pay for the DV, right?

Which of these documents are to be verified?

1.NSO marriage certificate?

2.NSO birth certificate?

3.NBI record clearance?

4.City issued police certificate?
