For the record, here was the embassy's response: In response to your inquiry, we would like to inform you that the documents listed in the email are suggested, and you only need to present those that apply to your case. We recommend following the instructions to ensure all information is uploaded into the system, and we remind you that on the day of your appointment, you must present the original civil documents that apply to your case (such as civil records, deeds, divorces). So I think we're good - all documents that apply to our case have been uploaded, and my wife will have the originals ready to present at the interview.

For the CR1/IR1 visa the vaccines do need to be done prior to entering the US.
-
Funny enough, we did actually get those "no marriage found" documents from both my state and for her in Colombia as they were required when we married in Aruba. They kept the originals but we have scans and can get the same documents again if necessary, but I'm going to wait for the embassy to reply so we have an official answer on everything. They've actually been very responsive and helpful in the past.
-
No, we did not marry in the US. Since we needed to change our plans anyway and by then had learned about how problematic the AOS process for K1 was with needing to travel, etc, we got marred in Aruba and re-applied for CR1. I was hoping I had all this cleared up with the petition phase but I understand the embassy is also doing their due diligence on their end.
-
We had a long story - she did come to the US last year on a K1 visa but had to return home due to a death in the family, so we ended up getting married abroad and starting the process again for a CR1 visa. I wrote a cover letter explaining the situation when I filed the I-130, but maybe since the embassy sees here previous K1 they asume she got married on it? Either way it was the same beneficiary (me!).

My wife just got emails from the embassy regarding the upcoming appointments for she and her daughter. They appear to be auto-generated emails and state that the cases are incomplete, and are prompting that divorce records need to be uploaded for both she and I. However, neither of us had previously been married. She does have a child from a previous relationship who is immigrating with us, but she and her daughter's father were never married. Anyone know what's going on? I emailed the embassy asking for clarification, but thought I would ask here as well hoping for some peace of mind!

Wife has no vaccination records
-
Thanks all for the advice! I realize the key here is that only the first dose is required. My fear was her not being able to complete the full vaccination series before the visa interview, but it sounds like that won't be an issue.
-
That's great to know! This sounds like the best plan - for her to get the vaccinations locally before the medical exam, then if in the worst case scenario anything is missing she can get them during the medical exam.
-
Makes sense, but has anybody had issues with their vaccinations being rejected because they weren't the right kind or must up to date, etc? That's one of the reasons I was thinking it may be best to stick with the embassy doctor, for total peace of mind even if they are more expensive.
-
My wife just got her interview appointment date in Bogota and is now scheduling the medical exams. Unfortunately other than COVID and Yellow Fever, she doesn't have any records of her childhood vaccinations. She believes she received them as a child, but never had a vaccination card. I'm understanding she'll need to receive them from the doctor completing the medical examination. Has anybody else been in this situation, and did it cause any delays? I'm concerned that with timelines of some vaccinations, boosters, etc, it may not be complete prior to her visa interview on September 3. I'm hoping that I'm worrying unnecessarily.

Changing document uploaded to NVC
-
In case it helps anyone reading this, uploading the documents to Other Documents worked. My step-daughter was DQ'd today, and I didn't have to do anything else to let them know I had uploaded new documents.
-
Thanks for your response. Since the documents are now there and show submitted, do we need to do anything else to let them know they're uploaded, or will they automatically review them? That part of the process wasn't clear to me.

How long is NVC taking to DQ?

My wife recently submitted the DS-260 for herself and her daughter, and we uploaded all requested civil documents. We got notified this week that's my wife's application was documentarily complete, however my stepdaughter's file got messages asking for: 1) my wife and I's marriage certificate (we of course submitted this on her file and I don't remember it being mentioned it would be needed on her daughter's file, but could be my mistake, either way no big deal) 2) her birth certificate apparently wasn't complete or couldn't be read. My wife scanned the document again so it was more legible. My question is - I'm not sure if we submitted the new documents correctly since it wasn't very clear. On the documents tab it wouldn't let us change the birth certificate, so we uploaded both documents under "Optional Documents." Both are there and now say submitted. Was this the correct way to do it, or do we need to anything further? Thanks

My wife's application was just marked documentarily complete last week. She submitted the DS-260 on April 26 and received the DQ on May 7. -
Wait for NVC letter

We got ours last month, 3 days after the I-130 approval.
