Thanks for your reply my friend. My question is more specific and to anyone who has already attended interviews. These notices are uscis notices and not proof of marriage. So if anyone has had them ask to show the original i130 NOA1 and i797 please let me know if they're necessary to bring to the interview

Did they ask you for it at the interview?

Hello VJ members, Every day a new doubt comes up and we want to be as prepared as possible. The i130 NOA1 and i797 approval original notices which came in the mail are in the US with my spouse. Will I need the originals while going to the embassy for my interview? I'm trying to figure it out so that they can be fedexed to me in time. Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

Hello. I just had my medical for my CR1 visa. The clinic mentioned that everything would be sent directly to the embassy and only a vaccination worksheet would be emailed to me. I showed them the note on the state gov page that says chest x rays must be carried when entering the US. However they wouldn't budge and said they don't give anything to the applicants in hand and that I should contact the embassy instead, when I go for the interview. Has anyone else faced this before? Is this the new process?

Congratulations. Did you have to submit the additional certificates?

Resubmitted the following and got accepted and documentarily qualified. Birth certificate: got the original notarized and apostille Police certificate: got it issued through the embassy with their seal (probably certificate direct from the local police commissioner's office didn't match the 'issuing authority' mentioned on the reciprocity page)

Submitted docs to NVC on 11/Jul/2024, few docs rejected as I mentioned on earlier posts and received the information on 18/Jul. Resubmitted docs on 23/Jul. Accepted and DQ today on 29/Jul

Yes the AOS and related documents show as "accepted" by NVC. Not yet DQ because there's some back and forth about a couple of my civil documents

Thank you. My pcc application was accepted on the basis of the noa2 letter as well. It took a week but the good thing is they tell you the exact date it will be ready. No guessing. Such a welcome relief in the midst of the rest of this process where waiting without information causes so much stress

Thank you. It's confusing because they are exactly same as the ones accepted for my friends. Anyway, now I'm in the process of getting an attestation on the birth certificate and writing an explanation letter of how the police certificate matches the requirements of the reciprocity page. Hope to submit soon and praying that they will be accepted

To give an update on this topic for future questions someone may have, both have been accepted on the i864 - petitioner (no US income but some savings + beneficiary's savings which total to 3x the poverty line) and joint sponsor's income

I mean my friends submitted the same certificates but their names and dates of birth are different from me, obviously. Otherwise everything is the same. Theirs was accepted, mine was rejected

ALL these criteria are met! That's why it is so confusing. And I have friends who submitted exactly the same birth certificate format from the same authority and were accepted. Exactly same in every way except the names and date of birth details. 2 other police certificates - from Japan and UK were accepted without issues.

They are all English documents sir

Got an email from NVC this morning and eagerly opened it to find that it wasn't DQ but invalid docs. My original birth certificate and Indian police certificate have been rejected. Unable to understand the reason as the explanation is generic and says only to replace with a correct one. Another document has been moved to additional docs and accepted but the category under which I submitted it has been restored to the mandatory documents saying Missing. No explanation given. So frustrating. Now I'm wondering how to resubmit to get DQ and how long they will take to review again once I resubmit
