Recently my husband's birth certificate was rejected. I realize the scan looked more like a copy than an original. I don't know if that's the only issue or if they want the "long" version instead. We submitted the "short version." Can someone who has had their documents accepted by NVC please weigh in, did you submit the long or short version and what was the result??

A few months ago I filed an expedite request for my fiancés visa because I was pregnant with our first child and had an extensive history with depression, anxiety, debilitating panic attacks and suicide ideation. I had gotten to a good place prior to meeting my fiancé, but when I became pregnant, my depression and anxiety had came back. I contacted USCIS to file an expedite request, which was denied! I decided to get a lawyer to assist with the latter half of this process because I just no longer wanted to deal with the process on our own. Well last month, at 20weeks and 4 days, I unfortunately, lost our child which has caused my symptoms to worsen like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I decided to come visit my fiancé in the DR so I could have time to emotionally heal together and also spend time together since we haven’t seen each other for over 4 months. This morning I decided to check the website to check processing times for K1, and what do you know? The processing times has now increased to 14 months! I am spiraling! I don’t want to go back to LA because I am worried about my mental state, but I also need to go see my doctors so I can follow up on the loss of my baby. At this point, I want to  withdraw our K1 visa and opt in for the spousal visa, but I don’t want to start this whole process over! I am also annoyed with the money that has already been invested into our current application as well. We have a call with our lawyer about this, but wanted to get some feedback from people who are in the same boat as me. What are y’all’s thoughts?!

Dont withdraw and start over. You have no control where spousal visa goes. Mine is in texas and estimated wait time is almost a year. I know it's tough but youve already waited a while. Best is to keep waiting with the path youve chosen. Im sorry for your loss.
