new birth certificate after interview--how long a delay?

[EG3R 3]

My husband just had his interview! They just asked a few questions about the college we both attended, and no difficult questions.

But, they told him he needs a different birth certificate. His birth certificate was issued by the hospital, while he needs one issued by the government. (We had called NVC, and they had told him the hospital issued certificate was fine. Sigh.)

After he gets the birth certificate, how long will it take to get a visa? He was asked to drop off his birth certificate and passport once he gets the document.

Will this cause a day of delay? A week? A month? How much longer will it take for my husband to get his passport and visa?

Usually 2-4 weeks after they receive the new docs, as long as there is nothing else.

Thanks for the reply. He already turned in the birth certificate.

We were hoping we'd see each other in a week. Now it looks like it could be a while.
