Failure to obtain all required documents will delay your case.

As a general rule, any document that is listed as “available” on the country-specific guidelines must be reviewed by a consular officer. During your visa interview, the consular officer will determine whether you must obtain the missing document before a visa can be issued. However, if you cannot obtain a required document for another reason, you must submit a detailed written explanation to NVC when you scan your other documents. Important Notice on Missing Documents: If a required document is unavailable per the country-specific guidelines, you do not need to scan the document into your CEAC.
