Additional Info? |
- When arranging documents for the interview, keep it simple. They ask for the documents needed slowly and one at a time.
- During the interview, the interviewer asks questions as he/she goes through your documents. Questions are specific and directly related to your application.
-MARCH 2009 UPDATE: THE US EMBASSY WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT THE ONE DAY CERTIFICATE OF GOOD CONDUCT, APPLICANTS WILL NEED TO APPLY FOR THE LONGER CERTIFICATION PROCESS OF 1-2 MONTHS VIA ONLINE APPLICATION (www.kln.gov.my)
- Translation of Birth Certificate can be obtained from:
For Malaysians, just request an extract of a birth certificate from any Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (NRD) office. It only costs RM5 and you must produce your IC. It takes 30 mins to produce the birth certificate (new format which contains english translations).
**Note: If your birth certificate is entirely in Malay, have them translated from a Translator instead. NRD doesn't translate the entire birth certificate (eg. They may translate 'Jantina' to 'Gender' but they do not translate 'Lelaki/Perempuan' to 'Male/Female').
