original certificate not available on interview

[vince_mags 6]

hello..

 

can anyone help or have idea on this

 

my interview is on feb 5 2018 monday...

 

and i have just learned that the original copies of my kids brith certificate and marriage certificate was brought by my wife backto the US..and I cant get a new copy now coz its the weekend and offices are close...although we have already pass the original copies before on the USCIS package...

 

what i have now is a copy (not original) of the birth Certificates and Marriage certificates..

 

Have anyone experience this?or know someone who experience this...would this affect my approval?

 

the US embassy im going to is at Manila Philippines

Other more experienced members will know if this is going to be a problem, but if you have been told in your documentation that you must (or should) bring originals to the interview so that they can be checked (and no offence is meant, but the Phillipines is regarded as a high fraud risk country so I think you should expect them to be checked) I think you have two options. The first is to call first thing on Monday to ask to reschedule your interview so that you can have the documents in hand; the second would be to see if your wife can get to her local Fedex or whatever to see if they can provide you with a guaranteed overnight delivery. I doubt it will be cheap however.

 

Hope it works out for you.

my interview is at 10.40am and the embassy opens in 10.30am...i think i cant make a call to resched..

also my wife tried to fedex it but it wont reach on the time that is needed...package will arrive 5.00pm on the day of the interview...

 

i feel depressed and anxious about the interview . .. waited for 2  years for this. .

do the documents that we sent at USCIS will be transferred to NVC??

 

coz my wife sent all original copies to the USCIS...

Greetings!

I was wondering if re-scheduling the appointment takes longer for a CR-1 visa rather than going to the appointment and just submit the documents as soon as you have it. And maybe, that those documents that were submitted previously are forwarded in that package. USCIS-NVC-MNL EMBASSY.

JUST MY TWO CENTS,

re-scheduling takes longer compared to delayed issuance of visa like submiting it as soon as you have it . .but i have read that it depends on the interviewer if they would allow it regarding on submitting as soon as you have it...

 

thats what i am praying right now that previous packages are forwarded USCIS-NVC-MNL Embassy...

 

thank you though..

But isn't that other Filipinos went to their interview with no current NBI and CENOMAR and was just asked to submit those documents.

Attend the interview, bring the copies, explain the problem.  They will hold your passport and give you a form to provide the missing original documents.

Once you bring the missing originals they will process the visa.  It's a delay (not even a significant one) but it's not the end of the world and you certainly won't be denied and have to start over.
