Feb NO2A approval

i am now preparing required docs that i will bring during interview.

some questions...

1. CENOMAR -- i already have this one since August of 2007. (We actually included it in our original 129F petition sent to CSC) Would that be alright or should I get another one -- dated 2008?

2. POLICE CERTIFICATE -- i really don't understand the importance of this. Isn't NBI Clearance enough? Anyweiz... I am living in Manila for 4yrs for work, so I will get a police clearance here right? But originally, my hometown is in Subic. That is my permanent address. Should I get another police clearance there?

3. DS-156 and DS-157 Forms -- both will be provided by the bank where fees are paid?

3a. DS-156 -- is it really true that handwritten or typed Visa Application DS-156 Forms will no longer be accepted? Visa application forms printed from the Internet and then filled out by hand or typed on a typewriter will not be accepted? as I have read in the USEM site, it states "Please fill out the form online, and then print it out using a laser printer." If so, the forms that will be given by the bank after I paid my fees are useless.. right?

Only those that had worked or lived outside PI.

Below is a quote from the sample Packet 4.

g. OTHER COUNTRY POLICE CERTIFICATES. Applicants aged 16 years and older must also

present police certificates from other countries where they have lived for six (6) months or more

after reaching the age of 16. As with NBI clearances, foreign police certificates should be obtained

in any maiden names, aliases or nicknames ever used while in the country in question, including

different spellings you have used of those names. Information on how to secure police certificates

from other countries is available on the Department of State’s website at

Visa application - $131

Just called NVC, they sent our case to USEM today. Woohoo. I can't wait. Hope we have an early April interview so we can have our Vegas wedding in April. It is tough in my line of work to get time off after May gets here and the weather gets hotter and drier. I am so happy I am now talking about something that is only 5 weeks away.

NBI has an expiration date, i believe after a year it has been issued right?

How about CENOMAR and NSO certified Birth Certificate? do they have expirations too?
