NVC checklist for marriage certificate and PCC for Bangladesh. Please help me :(

[tcy 29]

Hi everybody! My interview will be Dhaka USA embassy.  we just received a checklist from NVC. As per NVC something is wrong with my marriage certificate and nikah nama ( Bengali & English version) and it does not fulfil requirements. I'm literally surprised😱 because the same was submitted to USCIS when we started our i-130 application and they validated it and based on same marriage certificate we even got our approval for i130. So I don't understand what's wrong with the document now. I even looked through NVC website to find what might be missing but I can't really identify any possible error apart from 2 things that come to my mind. First, the English translation of my nikah nama doesn't have this line that says "this is a true certified translation from Bengali to english". Next a seal from ministry of foreign affairs is missing.  But is that seal required in Bangladesh? I even consulted an advocate here but he didn't seem it give much importance to MOFA seal. Checklist itself doesn't specify what exactly is wrong with my marriage certificate. I'm so confused!!!

 

The second checklist was for PCC for Bangladesh. As per them ministry of foreign affairs seal is missing which is absolutely wrong.  There's a seal and we sent both pages of the PCC doc. This second checklist is mere carelessness on the part of that gentleman reviewing our documents 

 

 

Below is snapshot of the checklist I received..Friends help me and guide me as what how should I rectify error fast so that I can get interview date.  Please help me. This long agonizing wait doesn't seem to end 😞😞

Your translation does not fulfill the requirements listed above

if you believe you have the correct PCC including the MoFA seal, then resend it, otherwise get a new one

 

also you do not need to make 2 posts to get answers

You don't need foreign affairs seal for marriage or nikkah nama. Bangladeshi marriage certificate is English anyway. You might have issue with translation which should be done by authorized translator. For pcc seal should be at the back of the page as you said you send both side to Nvc. So supposed to be ok. If you think your documents are ok you can call Nvc and ask for supervisor or explain to them that you can't find any problems. This not gonna damage anything. Else make a new nikhan nama transalte copy and send it.

Thank you very very much for your advice. I badly needed some help! 

 I was also thinking same that maybe translation part wasn't accurate enough as that one statement is missing.  

 

Any idea roughly how many days will it take for me get a new nikah nama and authorised translation?  Do you know names of any authorised translator who can do the job in sylhet ? 

 

Thanks in advance!!

I think you got problem with translation which doesn't mentioned that translation is accurate etc. Not sure if there any problem with actual nikhanama which is Bengali. For nikhanama you need to contact local marriage register who performed wedding. Also for authorized translator you can try court area or opposite of course bar in sylhet. This shouldn't take more than few days. Also you can ask any questions at Nvc filers July which might gonna change to Nvc filers August after today.

Yes inshallah I'll have to get translation part sorted out. Is there any particular template/ format one has to follow for translation apart from the fact that it's done through authorised translator and includes necessary statement about accuracy of the translation. 

 

Thanks again for your help!!

You should follow Nvc's instruction. They said you missed important sentences so take those sentences to authorized translator so he can add those.
