OK, so the next paper said all the docs my husband submitted with his visa application before with letters near it. Some letters said "The NVC did not request this form or document"

and some said "The NVC sent this form or document to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate"

so does that mean he doesn't have to bring these docs to the interview? no letter told us that anything was incomplete or had to be brought there. Please help

I want to make sure he brings all the right docs so that nothing goes wrong. Thanks so much in advance, my husband are are so excited but so nervous. He is very nervous

that something will go wrong at the interview and he wont have the right docs :\

If you submit it to NVC they have it. The NVC didn't request is you sent in documents that weren't asked for like the petitioners birth certificate.

Unless you need to bring something (besides whatever extra evidence and of course the Affidavit of support package) you are fine.

Can I have your case complete date, when you found out about interview date to add you to the case complete interview thread.

We only have one person from Pakistan that got an interview and have many more I believe 5 or 6 still waiting.

You can come to and tell me your information. I am still updating the list. Thanks its very helpful to others coming after you to have this information.

It looks like he still needs to bring his PCC to the interview or it's unobtainable?

[Mrsrwhite 5]

In responding to your "Now what",

1. I suggest you now call to schedule your medical appointment. While it is done closer to the time of interview you want to make sure you have an appointment date secured, from now.

2. Please take additional passport size pictures taken now , as you will need some at the medical (in Jamaica it 3) and others at the interview (2 in Jamaica)

3. For backup purposes, I also ensured that I made a folder with copies of everything I had sent to them at NVC.

4. Most importantly, though is that you have convincing evidence that spans the life of your relationship with your spouse, including your labelled photos, and call logs if they should ask about communication. I had sent a lot of evidence to NVC, and was never asked for anything else (not even call logs), at the interview. I was however armed with extra evidence just in case they has required such. And remember what you wrote on the DS-230 form (tthey will ask some questions directly from it).

5. Not too sure what it means for a PCC to be "unobtainable" in your country, so I cannot speak to that.

5. Good luck, you will probably feel nervous, but just remain calm and answer truthfully.

[AllUneedisLove 4]

Thank you for your responses. But, what is a PCC? I don't know what that stands for :\

[NikLR 13,227]

Police certificate.

for you it is the Pakistan Police Clearance. It is marked with an X .. that means unobtainable.... Was it sent to the NVC? Does he not need to get one? Does he have to bring it to the interview?
