4) Obtain the following documents on this checklist which pertain to her. She does NOT have to send them to us:
a) PASSPORT: A passport must be valid for travel to the United States and must have at least six months validity beyond the issuance date of the visa.
b) BIRTH CERTIFICATE: One copy of the birth certificate together with a photocopy of it. If an official birth certificate is not obtainable, present the best possible secondary evidence, such as a baptismal certificate, hospital certificate, school records, and/or a notarized affidavit from your parents.
c) POLICE CERTIFICATES: Each applicant aged 16 years or over is required to submit a police certificate from the police authorities of each locality of the country of the applicant's nationality or current residence where the applicant has resided for at least six months since attaining the age of sixteen in all names that the applicant has ever used. Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided for at least one year. A police certificate must also be obtained from the police authorities of any place where the applicant has been arrested for any reason, regardless of the length of residence.

First, your fiancée should bring to us the forms listed in #1 and #2. After she has all the other documents pertaining to her case she is welcome to write us an e-mail at Chisinau-CA@state.gov in order to schedule an appointment.
