So, we're applying for the IR-1/CR-1 visa, and we just got an RFE: the marriage certificate we sent in wasn't the the registered copy. So, now they need the registered copy. No big deal, right? WRONG! The guy who performed our marriage forgot to send it in to the registrar. So now we're looking at an 8-week delay.

Has anyone had an experience like this? Is there any other kind of documentation that they'll accept instead of the registered copy?

WOW, that sucks. I don't think the NVC will accept something else (but I have no experience on that), but where my wife and I married in the US there was a max 2 business day period after the wedding that the document had to be postmarked to the registrar or the pastor/justice of the peace (or whoever performed the ceremony) would be fined by the state. In some cases I guess fines can be a good thing to ensure procedures are followed.

Why such a long delay? Still should only be a couple of days.
