    No, the NVC will not accept documents in Dutch. It has to be in either English or International (Dutch/English)

    You will have to get everything translated or it will delay your visa process. As the website clearly states, if it's not in English or if it's in original language of the country you are from, it has to be accompanied by a translation. 

    All documents not written in English, or in the official language of the country in which you are applying for a visa, must be accompanied by certified translations

    I don't think it says that... It doesn't say "if it's in original language of the country you are from, it has to be translated" because that way they just could have said "If it is not in English, translate." (and someone from England would have a really contradictory problem...it is both in English and the official language...lol) What it says is that it has to be either in English or the official language of the country you are applying in. And you are applying during your interview, not in the US.  NVC checks these documents with a reciprocity list I believe, but I think a short description of what the document is will be helpful to them. So in my opinion certified translations are not needed according to both NVC and the Amsterdam consulate. The Amsterdam consulate is even more clear and states "All documents that are not in English or Dutch must be accompanied by a certified translation into English by a certified/sworn translator."

     

    The NVC process wiki on here also touches on this subject btw. It also states that translations are not needed if it's in the official language, but sometimes people are getting rfe for translation anyways, so if you want to be on the safe side you could include it even though it is officially not needed.

  2. Make sure you put the exact total income on your jointly filed return in question 19a(bc). (So not as suggested above just your wife's part.)

    The income from just your wife goes in where they ask for current individual income and if you are not using your income that same number will also be the total household income. (So don't list your income at any of the household member spaces, since you don't use it to qualify, but DO include it in 19abc because that number needs to match your joint return.)

    Also include all W2's, including yours, with the tax transcript/return. I've read recent rfe's for not including a W2 from a spouse who was not used to qualify.

     

  3. I received the notification that they received the RFE. I just checked and my photo is in line with the guidelines and the validator NigeriaorBust posted. attachicon.gifimage.jpg

    Here is the photo...My biggest confusion is why they accepted my fiance's and not mine because they look exactly the same except with different people

    Sorry to hear about your denial. If you sent in this exact photo it is absolutely not in line with the guidelines and they are pretty strict on those. Your photo is off in size and also slightly off in color. But the size is definitely a deal breaker here. I took a good pic off the guideline site and put yours next to it. You can see the difference (the pic needs to be square for starters) and where you went wrong if this is the pic you've sent in.
