Tenzy

Hi all,
I've been in VJ for almost 2 years now. It's been a wonderful experience. I've learned so much from this Forum and everyone here has been so helpful. Thank you so much!!! I couldn't have asked for more. We finally got approved for CR-1 visa. My husband had his interview on his birthday and he was approved What a lovely gift on his birthday. Thank you everyone and I'll try to write a review for his Consulate experience soon.

Good luck for all who's waiting for their loved ones to come home!!

I am not sure if it's right but just my point of view-
I think your lawyer asked for 2nd original copy just in case when NVC ships your documents to the U.S. Consulate in your country, they are afraid that it might get lost or misplaced. The "2nd original copy" is just a back up. As to how you can get it would depend on where it was issued. Ask your sister to go back to where her Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate was issued & ask them for a certified copy (which holds the same value as a original document)

My status still says "approval notice sent out" it didn't change to "shipped to NVC", should I call USCIS & ask them cuz i see that yours was shipped right after. Today marks the 10th day since my approval notice was sent out.
P.S- Do you happen to know if NVC mails out a letter to us asking for beneficiary's supporting documents? For example- Listing the items like Birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport size photo, police clearance, etc..or do we just sent out the documents on our own through our research on the NVC website. I'm trying to expedite my husband's passport & they are asking for some notice from U.S side asking for those documents. I don't have the letter yet so I'm so confused. For now, I sent them the approval notice but that doesn't indicate the document lists that we need. I hope they expedite it, so that I can have the IV package complete before NVC asks. I'm so stressed...ughh -.-

Thank you all I will pray for the rest of us too!! I know this process is so disheartening. I, myself have been on an emotional roller coaster because of this. I hope you all get approved. We all need our life partners with us already. The separation is killing us. Literally !!

Thank you Sofi! I know we had RFE around same time. I don't know if this helps but on 09/16/2014 I went on USCIS website & just tried doing an e-service request. To my suprise, they took my request & gave me request ID # and said I should expect reply by 10/08/2014. Next day I got approved (email notice). So, I highly recommend you to try this. I don't know if this will work but nothing wrong in trying.
My prayers are with you & your hubby!

Got approved today, received an email

Just got email sayin that I got approved..yay!!

Thanks guys I really need your prayers for us. Waiting eagerly for the letter so that I can reply to the RFE ASAP. We can do this!!!
