Yup , You are right . Just got off the phone . Thats exactly what it means:)

My mom was worried ) no matter how much sense it made to me that bringing the originals its what letter J means.

Luckily our IR5 case has been completed and we have an interview date.

Now, on the page with required visa documents Letter J is assigned to:

Passport, beneficiary's Birth Certificates,divorce papers ,police certificate and petitioner's birth certificate.

Letter J is not in the list with the rest of documents status code definitions.

I am assuming it should mean "bring originals" .

Im with the NVC on the phone as I'm typing this but I'm thinking maybe this would help other people since I couldn't find anyone asking about this on VJ ( didn't search thoroughly though )

I will update with the right answer . Feel free to share your experience with letter J ))

Oh I'm so happy for you!

Always call!

I do twice a week now but am so dragging in my wait for CC:))

Good luck to you too!

Haha ok so you are saying you sent what they requested but u are worried they will still give you a checklist:)

Hi 5!! I finally got it:))

Then don't worry! Relax and "enjoy" the wait time like the rest of us:)

If they do send a second checklist(God forbid!)call them and ask for supervisor and a manager to pull your case out to find all the documents you sent .

Have no fear they are all nice people like us and they're job is to give you all the info they can.

I think what's confusing to me is the word "note"

If the birth certificate is ONLY in your native language then the translation HAS to be made by a notary. It has to have a stamp that certifies that translation.

Sometimes even if it's translated by your country they still ask for a separate certified translation.

So when you say"note" to me it sounds like a post-it note attached to your copy:)It can not be a note written by you.

Now what you can do is to call them.

Ask what was the checklist exactly for.

This way you will know , based on what you just sent,if you are waiting now for CC or another checklist.

The thing is it's your decision on what you want to do.

You can ask for a supervisor, you can ask for a manager to pull your case out but if you don't send the right papers it's all in vain. A supervisor can only help(after45 days) if you sent the right things and they misplaced it.

I hope I'm not confusing you more:) I also wish you sent what they want and that all you are waiting for is just a CC:)

Im sorry, let me see if I get this right: you sent all papers to Nvc and they sent you back a check list that requires a translation to a birth certificate?

And You said you sent a note saying the translation is there with rest of paper?

If all of the above is correct then I am sorry to tell you that the best thing to do was to just send again the translation.

My Romanian birth certificate is translated in 3 languages including english. If yours has the same and they still ask for a translation call NVC and ask for a tier 2 representative.

Explain you don't want anyone to pull your case out( means you will lose your spot in the line) but to just add a note to your case that the translation is on the birth certificate itself already.

They might tell you to either send a separate translation with the bar codes check list or they might suggest you have your case pulled out to clarify this. This is why I think u should just send a translation.

Good luck. Hope you figure it out:)

Oh calling them to ask won't affect you in any way.

They are pretty polite and nice.

To pull your case out you would have to request a manager or supervisor to do that.

Call them also they don't keep count on how much you call .

Its always someone else answering anyway.

And other people call every day and more than once so..

Don't be afraid to elbow your way to info )

Im just waiting for my mom..waiting for a spouse seems harder.

I can but don't want to imagine having to wait a whole year for the one you love:)) thats just cruel.

Oh btw I sent mine out on the 17th and they received it on the 18th( I asked for signature) and the scan date was the 24th.

Idk how I didn't mention this before ..

Before NOA1 I stalked Uscis then I learned it's actually called stalking so I did it again with NOA2 ) jk but this is torture.

Also I know for sure I did send all my papers.. They probably needed more time to process so came up w a ridiculous check list.

And when I called to ask why the woman said if I request a manager to pull out my case to find my copy it will delay my case a month and then some so.. I caved in and sent the damn thing.

Yes,The email is set up when u chose an agent at the beginning of all this.

Lol, I'll take pity on you : If you had to chose an agent you should receive an email.

I get emails and they are usually sent late in the day but on the day the change happened .

My advise to you is to call them. Whenever you need an update or a confirmation,call. Don't wait for the email.

Now about the wait..Im in the same bucket with you. I had to resend my birth certificate copy and the wait time is 30-42days from my now new scan date which was March 24th .

So yes after waiting 31 days for them to see if I'm missing something now I have to wait another,at least,30 days.

I called today and still no one looked at my papers yet.

Good luck and yeah.. just hang in there.
