( ) 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

( ) 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
