Birth records must be presented for all unmarried children under age 21, even if they are not applying for a visa at this time. The certificate must state the date and place of birth and names of both parents.
( ) UNOBTAINABLE BIRTH CERTIFICATES: If an official birth certificate is not obtainable, present the best possible secondary evidence, such as baptismal certificate, hospital certificate, school records, and/or a notarized affidavit from your parents.
( ) POLICE CERTIFICATE: Each applicant aged 16 years and over is required to submit an original police certificate from the police authorities of each locality where the applicant has resided six months or more since attaining the age of sixteen. A police certificate must also be from the police authorities of any place where the applicant has been arrested for any reason, regardless of the length of residence. Police certificates from certain countries are considered unobtainable. The consular office will advise you about any particular country.
Police certificates from certain countries are unavailable. More specific information available online at http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_3272.html
( ) COURT AND PRISON RECORDS: Persons convicted of a crime must obtain a court record and any prison record, regardless that they may have benefited from an amnesty or pardon.
( ) MILITARY RECORDS: Applicants who has served the military service must obtain a complete record of the service and conduct. The record must show any convictions of crime before military tribunals. (see http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_3272.html to determine availability of military records.
( ) PHOTOGRAPHS: Two (2) color photographs are required, taken within the last six months. The photographs must measure 5 by 5 cm (2 by 2 inches), in color against a plain white background without borders, printed on normal photographic paper, full frontal face (no hat, sunglasses, scarves, etc.).
( ) MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE AND DIVORCE CERTIFICATE: If you were married previously, obtain your marriage certificate(s), and divorce decree(s) or death certificate to prove the dissolution of each such prior marriage.
( ) EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: Evidence which will show that you and your children, if any, are not likely to become public charges in the United States. The enclosed information sheet

An original signed notarized Affidavit of Support; Form I-134 should be used.
( ) MEDICAL EXAMINATION: Arrange for a medical examination with one of our designated panel physician (see below). You are responsible for the cost of the examination. A medical examination is also required for each child who will accompany you.
