I meant when the NVC send the completed documents to the US embassy in Jordan (or when the Consulate receive the documents). I guess this what I was reading from similar Timeline and after that when the Embassy set up the day of the interview. Then they will send the package to my wife. Is this correct? Thanks ..

Hi:

My spouse case was completed on October 1, 2013. Until now she never got an interview assigned to her. I have been calling every few days to check on the status but no luck. The only answer I get that they will notify us when they schedule the interview and at first they were saying that October is already filled and now November is filled as well. Any idea when we should be expecting this interview to be set..Thanks

Is it under supervisor review or regular review? If a supervisor is going to review it, it should be faster. Have you called up since 9/13 to see what the status is?

As for time frames for interview, YOU have to do the research (as it varies by country). Start here for Jordan: http://www.visajourn...n&dfile=No&adv=

I spoke to him direct last Monday and told me it is under full review and should not take long, but he never gave me time limit.

According to NVC's site for Jordan (http://travel.state....l?cid=8983#docs) on marriage certificates:

"Available. Obtainable from the Sharia Courts for Moslems and the churches for Christians. No civil marriage is performed in Jordan and no civil marriage certificate is acceptable."

Is that where you got yours, the one you sent to NVC?

I e-mailed the last document the NVC requested (the sharia marriage certificate) on 9-8-13. On 9/9/13 a supervisor (That was great from him to call because I was not expecting that call) from the NVC called me and explained to me that the Civil Certificate was unacceptable and promised to speed up the review for the last document I sent. On 9/13 I received an e-amil from them telling me that it is under review. Do you think it will take the full 30 business days as we told me initially or it will be shorter as he told me. And if the case is completed this month when I should expect my spouse interview in Amman. Thanks

Most likely yes. If you're fluent (or your spouse is fluent, or has a friend who is fluent) in both languages they can translate. Double check in your regional forum perhaps to see what exactly is needed. Most of the time if the document is in the official language of the country in which the interview will be taking place, no translation is necessary. There are a few exceptions of course.

My wife took the Islamic Certificate to an Immigration office in Jordan yesterday and they are suppose to translate it and Email them both to me in few hours in which I will E-mail them to the NVC right away. The sad thing that I will have to wait another month for the last document they require from us. I was counting the days and checking my E-mail every hour to hear that all documents were accepted and wait for the interview date. And was hoping the interview will be during my vacation time when I travel to Jordan during the month of October and we will be able to come back together, but I guess we have to wait and Skype more as Jaajay said .

Hi:

First I would like to thank you for your respond to my concern. I submitted a certified copy of an original English marriage certificate that was issued from the Civil Dept. in Jordan based on the Islamic certificate issued to us. And when the NVC required the certificate they asked for an original marriage certificate or a certified copy and I wish they could be more specific about their requirement. So am I suppose to send this Arabic Islamic certificate without being translated as the rep. from the NVC mentioned to me. Once again thank you for your input.

Hi:

I applied for my wife in Jordan with the NVC through electronic processing. I have sent all the documents they have requested. Today I got a respond from them telling me the marriage certificate is from the incorrect issuing authority. I do not know why because It is a certified English copy issued from the civil status & passport dept. of Jordan with all the seals and stamps. I called the NVC and the customer support told me to resend it again and it will take a month to review it. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he told me that no one is available and he took my number and he will have them call me. No one called and I called again to speak to a supervisor and the second one told me the same thing that no one is there. Yet he told me that what they need is my Islamic Arabic Shareea certificate, not what I sent. It was shocking for me because as much as I read about documents required that the marriage certificate should not be in a foreign language in which I have in Jordan but I am scare it is a waste of time. Any one can tell me what to do please???

As I understand it - if we got married in Georgia it would just complicate matters right? Yes we can just renew our tourist visa every 12 months - there is no restrictions (unless they join the EU but that isn't even on the table at the moment).It took Bulgaria 7 years to obtain full unrestricted membership after it joined. So as long as we can declare the engagement at the embassy and organise the paperwork through them that's fine.
