Does anyone know if they do the background check after the interview or before? Our file has said "background check in process" from the get go and my husband has an interview next week. I am just curious and slightly excited.
BGC can start anytime in the process. Some applicants got BGC started immediately, some others got started at later stage.

Hi, is there anyone in December group waiting for file transfer. I am January applicant. Still waiting for file transfer. Medical passed, biometric waiting.
I too am waiting. I read that one november applicant was transfereed to NDVO. So i think in may be a month dec applicants may be transferred. But this is just one applicant (there may be others but i did not read abt them).

Definitely marriage certificate from the country of issuance. If you are married in a foreign country you must get that document certified translated as well if your document is in another language. You should have a certified translator translate official government issued documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates and police checks if they are not in English. Example: our marriage was registered in the Country of Costa Rica, we provided official verified document of authenticity and had it certified translated because it was in Spanish. Some translators can charge anywhere from $45 - $100 per page of translation FYI.
y Hii are you still on this?
Because I’m in a similar situation our marriage is registered in South Korea but I’m from Pakistan living here with a Work Permit .
I also sent them attested Translation Copies Of our Marriage Certificate, My Korean Alien Registration Card & Character Certificate etc , So kindly let me know if it causes any delays in the Application if the Principal Applicant isn’t living in his home country?
Thanks!

I think it takes longer if the applicant has a different country of residence than their country of origin. I think travel history also plays a role; the background checks are longer for such applicants.

does anyone did the bio-metric, when they request this process is this before the final decision or in the start of the process. and is this after they send the file to VO or before. they only request me to pay the bio fees but no instruction yet regarding when and how to do it. The file is sent to VO ANKARA, Turkey. does any one is having the same VO.
The biometrics instruction can come at anytime after application submission.
In regard to the Ankara VO there are many applicants (including myself) waiting to receive their biometrics request letter.
