NVC response: "death certificate is not original"

[Lesia 0]

Hi everybody!

I need some advice. I am a US citizen applying for my Mother. My case is still in NVC. I hoped it would be closed soon, instead I got response today from the operator that my IV package was reviewed and they thought that death certificate of my father wasn't original. I asked to connect me to supervisor and explained that all documents that I put in that package was originals, including death certificate of my father, plus I put copies for each with translation. He told me that it would take 10-15 business days to close review my package again.

Does anybody have similar experience here? Shall I ask my Mother to order dublicate in case they lost the first one?

Hello Leisa,

I just saw your question on Visa journey about the death certificate request for your's mother case.

I am in the same situation and can't find an answer anywhere.

Could you please advise if you remember what was the resolution for yours mother case in regard to death certificate?

I sent original death certificate of my mother for my father's IR5 application and they are saying its not from the correct authority.

I would really appreciate a response.

Thanks
