Birth Certificate

[JP&BP 1]

Talked to an operator at the NVC today. They said the IV papers look fine but that I need to submit an original birth certificate. Which I already did! So the question is, did they just miss it when they looked over the package or do they not accept the one I sent in. If the latter is the case I don't know what to do since the one I sent in is what the Norwegian government issues. It has a signature and stamp and says "extract of the register of birth" on it. It meets the requirements listed on the NVC web page for birth certificates. And I made sure I sent the original.

Any Norwegians out there who has experienced anything like this? Anyone else know how to deal with this?

So frustrated with the NVC right now!!

I have not experience anything like this. But if you still have the same problem, you need to contact the NVC again to hear what was wrong with it.

I'm not sure if this is any help as I am from the UK, but I was asked for the 'long copy' birth certificate.

Thanks for your replies guys! It worked out, our case was sent for review and closed two weeks later without us having to send in anything else. So apparently the person who was doing the initial review of our ds 230 must have made a mistake. It caused a slight delay at the NVC but our case was closed last Friday, so it all worked out

Without seeing it, it's hard to tell but often an extract will not include the names of the parents. If the parents' names aren't on it, you need one that does. For some countries the proper document is called a "long form" birth certificate.
