National Visa Center (Dept of State)police clearance certificate

Hi, i like to know if you do not submit police clearance certificate with ds-230 , can you submit with consulate in bombay.. i forget to send one with Ds-230, my passport was issu less then 6 month ago. do i need police clearance certificate . thank's for help...


11/01/2007 I-130 file


04/10/2008 NVC received case number assigned
04/21/2008 NVC generates AOS bill

04/21/2008 AOS fee bill and IV Fee bill paid online
04/23/2008 DS-3032 and I-864 packet send out document print out online

Is your consulate an appointment post? If so it should hve been sent with the DS-230. Just call and speak to a live person and ask. If not you will receive a RFE for it.

I have another question since my first one was answered...i guess it was not that significant...I am about to send off my I-864 with supporting documents should I staple any forms that have more than 1 page to it...



I staple mine and it ws not a problem. Did you write your NVC cae # on each and every page? I see you have paid your IV bill online. Have you been able to get the DS-230 coversheet yet? You are about to move at lightening speed. This online payment system is reat. You are almost there. good.gif

National Visa Center (Dept of State)What happens after last RFE is submitted?
QUOTE (Tiane @ May 6 2008, 08:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
We had an RFE on our financial evidence(AOS) and before that we returned both the AOS and DS-230 near the same day. We did not receive an RFE for the DS-230 and since it is on a separate track I am assuming that they are now only waiting for our AOS RFE to approve the case. My question is, I sent the RFE back to them last wednesday but there is still no update in the system. Do they have to accept the required documents and then still wait 6-8 weeks to review our case before approval or will we have approval on our case on their receipt of the AOS RFE documents. Any help is appreciated, we are hoping to have it done soon so we can get our interview in june or july. smile.gif


Even though the systems says 6-8 weeks, they always review the RFE in 5-7 days after it is received.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Change of Address
The postal service usually does not forward the type of mail that you are expecting. That is the reason the gov't tells you to change your address with them. Just go ahead and do a change of address with them seeing that you already seem to know your future address.

Yeah, Calamitka, good to have you back with us. Congrats on the completion of your interview and the good phone call from the consul yesterday. But why would they want to see you again if everything is ok? Did they take your passport or maybe they are asking you to come in and bring it so they can process the visa and affix it to your passport.

Well, anyway, good luck with the rest of your journey and much success with your thesis.

Bad News Guys. crying.gif crying.gif

I am crying my heart and eyes out right now. Mike's interview was rescheduled for June because he did not have the second copy of the police certificate. I look in my papers and realized that I still have the extra copy. I had emailed the consulate, after Tonya posted and said Drew was asked for his, and was told that it was not necessary for him to have it if it was sent to the NVC

Now when he got there he was turned back. They did not even do the interview and schedule a time for him to drop it off, they rescheduled the whole interview. How can they be so cruel and disheartening? ohmy.gif

I have to talk to him when he gets home to get the full story.

Learn from my experience all who have their interviews coming up. Make sure you have the second copy of the police certificate with you.

...this is briefly what happened i still havnt FULLY gotten the entire story of what happen but it seems like evrything went FINE! good.gif


So we had our first interview.. it went really well, The lady was really nice to my hubby and we got our second interview date for
5-9-2008! My husband got a yellow slip that said "case is completed and review, just need the second interview with the embassy."

He was asked who i was, and who were his co sponsors. The Embassy also returned SOME original documents to him that we had sent to the NVC. They also took fingerprints.

My hubby said that they were mainly focused on the I-864...my hubby had the 2007 taxes with him also but they did not ask for that. (which is good)...this all took about 2 hours....


so now we wait until 5-9-2008 our second interview!

Im guessing at the second interview they will ask more question and want to see pictures and evidence...




GOD IS GOOD TO US!!!


OMG Karla!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif I am so happy for you that it all went okay and hope that next week this wil all be resolved. good.gif Keep up informed.

Clairern, How did you Hubby's medical go???

My hubby went on Monday..poor thing had to get 3 shots hehe!...and it was about $300...these doctors really SPIKE the prices up!!!! mad.gif


He has to go back on Friday to pick up his chest x-rays because as per the doctor he might need them at the port of entry.


he is fine and he pretty much passed!! so im happy!



Hey Karla;

His medical went okay. He had gotten 2 shots for free at the local clinic and the varicella that he did not get was an option and he did not bother to get it as it was not required. They gave himt he chest xray to take with him to the POE. He also told me that the doctor's assistant or nurse told him to get undressed without giving him a gown to cover himself. She them asked him if he was already undressed and walked in the room and looked him from head to toe then she gave hima gown (?) He was in the army so that did not faze him. I think that was very unprofessional of her though although ne was alright with it.



WOW!!! how unprofessional!...thats odd because my husband just had to take his shirt off!...

she must have liked you HUBBY!


GOOD THING HES ALL YOURS AND ON HIS WAY HOME TO BE WITH YOU SOON!!!




Girl, he is sexy and good looking and I guess she wanted to see the goods. I am fine though cause he just blew it off. I can't wait to have him home with me though, I miss him terribly. I have 7 days off from work at the end of May and hopes tht everthing goes alright and he can come during that time. good.gif

Hey Calamitka, how are you? I missed having you to banter with laughing.gif . Congratulations on your interview date. Have you received your letter yet?

How was your visit with your hubby?



same here i am still waiting for the letter.........



Karla;

Have you guys scheduled the medical as yet? Mike scheduled his for 4/16. I emailed the embassy and got a reply that he can pick up a duplicate packet 4 on 4/17 if he does not receive it on time.



We called the doctor and he was really nice...he said don't make the appt until the letter arrives...but he said that he normally has next day appointments and its not a big deal **i guess hes not too busy**....we still have 3 weeks until our interview so i will wait another week or so.


my letter was generated on 3/24...im in cali. it should be on its way. ((hopefully))

you can fax or email the letter to your spouse then your not so rushed!


I have a backup plan if he does not get it in time. I emailed the embassy and he has an appointment to pick up a duplicate packet on 4/17. He will just have to reschedule his medical because he still has enough time.

Looking at the last few posts, the interview dates generally seem to be about 2 months after approval. Does anyone know whether the dates depend on which consulate you are going to for your interview (ie. the interview date depends on the consulate's schedule) or whether it depends on NVC's schedule?

thanks!

I think that the interview dates are assigned depending on the sonsulate's schedule, even though NVC schedules them. You must remember that the consulates handle more than just the applications coming from the US. They handle visas for other categories that are country-based like visitors's, work etc.

Good luck on a speedy interview schedule. good.gif good.gif
