Quick question for all Pakistanis who are going through NVC process or their case completed already in NVC
I would like to know if someone has submitted original Urdu Nikkah Nama (my nikkah nama has local registrar and Foreign office stamps) and original English translation (mine has foreign office stamp on it) without NADRA marriage certificate and they didn't receive any RFE? I received a RFE that they didn't find the marriage certificate. I am thinking they are referring to NADRA marriage certificate.
As per NVC website, NADRA marriage certificate is not a requirement but can provide further proof. In my circle, no one has submitted the NADRA marriage certificate and their case got completed in NVC without any issues. But that was few years ago. I don't know what the latest trend is.
This is from NVC's website. Thanks in advance!
The NADRA marriage certificate can provide further proof of registration. For immigration purposes, the Nikah must be registered.
The original Nikah Nama is usually in Urdu and is required for consular processing of immigrant visas. The NADRA marriage certificate is not an acceptable substitute for the Nikah Nama. Attested translations of the Nikah Nama should be provided. In some larger jurisdictions, such as Karachi and Lahore, an original English Nikah Nama may be given upon request.

Go ahead if you'd like to. i have submitted 2 service requests and did not receive any response for it yet. I spoke with Tier 2 today. They said NBC is where the delays are in processing currently.
