Hello and congratulations on a case completion!

Normally, NVC will forward all documents to the US Embassy. However, in some instances, some original documents come up missing. In these instances, the process will come to a screeching halt. The applicant/beneficiary would then be required to procure the necessary civil documents. No fun, if you're on a schedule.

If you're anything like me (a highly obsessive-compulsive, pessimistic person), I would highly suggest getting at least one (1) complete set of original civil documents (ie NSO birth certificate, NSO marriage certificate, NSO CENOMAR). Include these with a set of original, signed forms (specifically, the DS-230). I was surprised they asked for a signed DS-230 at the pre-interview. I already had submitted one at NVC stage. So, God only knows where it went. Fortunately, I had two signed copies.

My preparation may have been overkill, but I sure felt confident going to the interview. I highly suggest reading this guide, if you haven't already.

Good luck with your interview! Keep us posted! :thumbs:
