Mrs.FC

Hi! I just wanted to ask the following to the people who have received a good conduct certificate specifically from Bahrain:
Does it have any validity and for how long?
Does it contain the date you have resided and until you left Bahrain?
And when you requested for the GCC, did they require any letter from US embassy?

Once the embassy receives the document that they need, it usually takes another week or two before they issue the visa. Just keep an eye out on your status on the CEAC website.
I'm glad I told my husband to get me an Advisory of Marriage also in addition to his. You're the second person I saw on VJ that said the CO asked for it during the interview. My husband will have his interview on Monday; hopefully all goes well!

I hope that they will extend your expiration date since its not your fault anyway. Just hang in there.

Wont say this was the exact mistake. But we made a mistake in I864A in total income of my husband and my father in law who is the household member. We never saw it before the interview date. We didn't get any checklist BUT you can never trust NVC. They can give checklist any time. So better you call after 5pm to NVC, as I saw people after 5pm are much nicer than the morning people (my personal experience with NVC) and ask them. Or you can do as Mrs Burgz has said. Not advisable to wait another 30days for this small thing. But they mostly care about the poverty line of the sponsor as far as my knowledge. All the Best.

Go ahead and call the NVC.
It is ok to send the AOS and IV packet even though you have not received the IV invoice.

Call NVC and ask the to review your DS-261 so the IV fee can be unlocked. Send the AOS and IV now. Make 2 copies of the AOS barcoded document sheet and wrote IV in the ATTN. You are set.

Same as above, I called and it was unlocked within two days.

Did you call them to have them go over your choice of agent form yet? If not, do that as soon as possible (just call them and say you want to go over your DS-261 with them). After that has been done, the IV bill usually unlocks within 24 hours.

Start the process now to get your Bahraini "Good Conduct Certificate." I believe the earliest you would need it would be at your interview.
