IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIranian Birth certificate in Farsi language.

Well they told me they will only accept originals for the NVC processing, for I-130 photocopies are allowed.

 

They also told me it doesn't have to be translated, but if you want to send in the certified translation I think that won't hurt.

 

 

 

Thank you for the input.

 

This is also a required "Civil Document' needed when the DS-230 "Visa Application" is submitted to NVC, do you know if this documents will be forwarded to NVC when the petition is approved?
 

Or will I need to obtain another copy for the NVC?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMy husband got his interview letter

Hey congrats on your upcoming interview - can you find out by calling the embassy if they still require police certificates?

 

The NVC told me that the most recent updated policy is that they don't but as I saw on your interview notice that they are still asking for it thats why I didn't get the police certificate yet. If they do require still require it I will have to get it.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

 

Ahh! thank you, for your quick responses. smile.png

InshaAllah, just make duah for his acceptance please. His interview is on the 22nd of this month, we are CR-1

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMy husband got his interview letter

How did your interview go? 

 

BTW for Pakistan - Police certificates are no longer needed, thats what the NVC told me on the phone and they showed me where it states that on the website as well. Did they ask from you a police certificate?

 

 

Hi you guys, I posted earlier that my husband got his interview letter finally, and is scheduled to be interviewed the 22nd of this month!
We are very nervous but relieved that the day has finally come and don't want to mess things up.

 

I just wanted to clarify what docs he has to bring? It gives details in the packet of course but sometimes they are so unclear
that I always find myself needing to double check.

 

One page says this:
 

*** IMPORTANT *** Interview Reminders

================================================================================

· Applicants may need to bring an additional police certificate to the interview. If the following three items are all true, the applicant needs to bring an updated police certificate to the interview:

· He or she is more than 16 years old;

· He or she obtained a police certificate more than one year ago; and · He or she still lives in the country that issued the police certificate.

· Bring this interview letter to the medical exam. Bring this letter to the medical examination because the panel physician may need to review it before performing the examination.

· Bring updated Federal income tax information to the interview. If a sponsor filed an I-864 (Affidavit of Support) and provided the NVC with proof of an IRS Federal income tax extension in lieu of a Federal income tax return, bring the sponsor's most recent Federal income tax return to the visa interview.

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

Ok, so basically he has to bring the same police certificate that he submitted already? He has to bring all the forms he previously submitted? I told him to bring those forms in a folder even if they are not required, just to be on the safe side. 

Also, confused about where it tells him to bring the Federal Income Tax. Now, the Affidavit of Support was the form I had my friend (who is an engineer) fill out for us so he lent us his tax forms and filled out the form, since my job salary isn't very much. Do I send my husband the I-864 my friend filled out so he can bring it to the interview? I will have to mail him the whole packet oversees? :\ or can I just scan the filled out I-864 to him, but what about the last portion that my friend signed? Won't they know that's a copy ? since we already sent those before. I am very confused on this part and would really appreciate your help.

 

Please reply back soon as the interview date is just around the corner now! appreciate it so much.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPolice clearance certificate from Pakistan

With all due respect, you sent your docs to the ISL embassy in Oct 2012 as you have stated. NVC specifically informed me that as of July 2013 there has been an update to the policy that is clearly stated on their website that PCC is not required for consular processing for Pakistan anymore. I was in the process of getting the PCC when the NVC spokesperson's told me not to cause it would be a waste of my time and resource. It might be the case that as you mentioned that the embassy might still be asking for it, I won't be able to find out until my case gets sent over there by the NVC, at which time I'll email the embassy and see what they say and let you guys know.

 

 

Police clearance certs ARE available - we got ours from 3 different cities in 2012 and again from the most recent and present city in May 2013.

They are required - perhaps the NVC doesnt require them - but i can assure you that the ISL embassy requires it as part of the IV4 packet list.

We sent ours as part of the NVC info along with the DS-230 and I-864 back in October 2012 and were asked in the IV packet from ISL embassy to bring latest PCCs.

 

Do NOT pay money for them - Each time we asked for the PCC from Lahore - there was someone from the local police district asking if any money was paid. Best NOT to get into that mess.

 

You also do NOT need any request letter from the NVC.

 

Good luck with this - any qs - pm us.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPolice clearance certificate from Pakistan

Why are you getting the PCC when its no longer used and not asked for Pakistan cases?

 

Did they specifically ask you to do this?

 

 

I got my PCC last week, without any letter from NVC, so just go to concern district police station n SSP will sign the certificate. Best of luck with ur process.

 


shabberaNot TellingPakistan2013-08-12 04:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPolice clearance certificate from Pakistan

I can sorta confirm this as well. The NVC people specifically told me on the phone that for Pakistan they don't accept the Police Reports anymore so they are not needed. They showed me on the website as quoted below about this. They also told me this is a very recent update so perhaps not more than a month old. I wrote this on my cover sheet and also printed this out and sent it with my docs just to be safe.

 

I am expecting my IV docs and all to be completed hopefully inshallah by end of next week. Once I get confirmation of that I will let everyone know here, so then it will become I guess more confirmed.

 

The only sad part is that I feel that since they are not depending on police reports anymore, they are prob going to be delaying everyone's cases so b/c they will prob be hiring someother 3rd party security company to find out and get local security clearance.

 

 

 

NVC letter is not a requirement. what city is your husband from? Tell him to go there at a different time.

 

About 10 yrs ago, when we were coming we knew that they don't give it out easily b/c they want money (bribe). For my mom, my dad paid them some money like Rs. 3000. I was like 15 yrs old but at our interview embassy requested that my parents get police certificate for me (stupid huh?? I know). At that time, my dad was back in the states so my mom went with me to the police station and we just told them that we are thinking about applying for visit visa (just for me) b/c my cousin was getting married. Guy over there thought I had no shot so he didn't ask for money & just made one in like 3 days and I was good to go. 

 

 

Afshi..as far as iam aware NVC no more need pakistani police certificate.This is the latest update from nvc,i am posting the statement here from nvc website regarding pakistani pcc,but its best to call the nvc and cofirm.
 

Police Records

Not available. Pakistan has no nationwide tracking system in place for criminal activities. Police Character Certificates are available for a fee from District Coordinating Offices. However, they are not an accurate reflection of an individual's criminal record. An applicant who has committed a crime in one district may be able to obtain a clean Character Certificate from that district or another. Given the inaccuracy of these certificates, they are not required for consular processing.

Hope this will help you.

 

 

We also did not need any written letter to obtain police reports from Islamabad.

 

 

Same here we did not need any paper work

 

 

My wife was able to get the PC without any NVC written request! Who says one need the written request?

 

 

We are ready to sent DS-230 with civil documents, but my husband cannot obtain police report from pakistan without a written request from NVC. Can I send everything else and submit the police report when NVC will send RFE or when he will have his interview in Islamabad? Pakistani filers please share your information if you we're able to get PCC without a request letter.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC Case Complete!!

Hi there .. my question is I also got approved from the nvc last week how long does it take to get a interview letter from the embassy because I am planning to go there in sep 4 ... do you think I will get the interview date by this time ... thanks...

 

My guess is that you will get an interview letter for October - but you might still get one for September if someone who had a September date decided to re-schedule theirs which leaves the date open for others to fill in.

 

When will you get the letter, I think either later this month or early next month.

I feel so unlucky sometimes that uscis had to get screwed up from feb to June 2013. Ppl before and after that were fine. And I specially hate when ppl compare it to their processing times and say that it doesn't take long normally and something must be wrong when they have no idea what's exactly going on inside. It's getting so unbearable for me now and so tired of answering ppl I have no idea what to do. Making me sick from inside!

Really hope so! Ameen. And I think the number didn't get copied can u please post it again?

 

Samreen the number is  1 (800) 375-5283 ask him to call right now this is good time, just dont push any button ..wait for the person to contact .. he will speak spanish first tell him in enlish U perefer english ..then he will ask for MSC number give him one ... tell him that you follow pvt forum and it shows almost every 1 is done ... for June except You ... 

 

they will tell ...follow the Processing date which is currently 4th April ... tell them U know that but ...please can you guys have a look .. why it is taking so much time .. and they will say ... ..we cannot do anything .. but i think in bacground it generates alert  or a log that this MSC got inquiry from the costumer... so they might work on it .. (This is my theory) 

 

 

 

let me know how it goes !

Hey Samreen, I might work I guess... because when I called I gave them the MSC number ... may be it helped but it is always may be .. I am sure yours is on the way 100% today laters ! 

 

 



and guys here is a code I found out to reach to the Direct Costumer service person without wait ... when you dial in the number , don't press any button and you will see some Hispanic will pic up the found .. tell them U prefer english & they will talk in english , and then you can start with your case number ! ;)
