Changing document uploaded to NVC

[Maitremathieu 6]

My wife recently submitted the DS-260 for herself and her daughter, and we uploaded all requested civil documents.

 

We got notified this week that's my wife's application was documentarily complete, however my stepdaughter's file got messages asking for:

1) my wife and I's marriage certificate (we of course submitted this on her file and I don't remember it being mentioned it would be needed on her daughter's file, but could be my mistake, either way no big deal)

2) her birth certificate apparently wasn't complete or couldn't be read. My wife scanned the document again so it was more legible.

 

My question is - I'm not sure if we submitted the new documents correctly since it wasn't very clear. On the documents tab it wouldn't let us change the birth certificate, so we uploaded both documents under "Optional Documents." Both are there and now say submitted. Was this the correct way to do it, or do we need to anything further?

 

Thanks

That is correct.  Once something is submitted there is no changing what is there.  All you can do is submit a new one.

 

I made the same mistake with my stepdaughter.  The two cases are handled separately so even if the marriage certificate was submitted for mom and wasn't ask for in the list of documents for her daughter, it is still required to independently prove the stepdaughter relationship.

Thanks for your response. Since the documents are now there and show submitted, do we need to do anything else to let them know they're uploaded, or will they automatically review them? That part of the process wasn't clear to me.
