Should I FAKE IT?

[S_AL_ 1]

Shape its very kind of you to comfort me in such a time. Its a nerve wrecking experience to be honest and I have been an utter disappointment in general...I have virtually failed at everything I have tried and on the other hand, my better half is definitely smarter and has achieved a lot in a very short time. Maybe I should not pitty myself so much but for once I want to get things done right and just in time to improve my reputation with people who have to bear with me everyday. help and support..much appreciated Shape.

Just wait it out and present real original documents like we all do

You all aren't reading their question!!! In their country apaprently a document FROM the NVC is required in order to even REQUEST a police certificate! They ARE NOT contemplating making a fake police certificate! Please read people! Some countries won't even send police certificates to the person and will only send them direct to the NVC or consulate. If I were the OP, I'd find out exactly what the police authority in the beneficiary's country needs in order to procure a police certificate. Perhaps a print out from the DoS website detailing all the documents needed for standard processing, which shows obtaining a police certificate will suffice. I think it would because with the new online payment system that's what they give you in lieu of a packet. A link where you get a cover sheet as I had posted a sample of before, and then a link showing what documents are required to send. If the police authority requires anything more perhaps it'd be best to call the NVC and tell them that they'll only release that information if the NVC sends them a letter.

I answered the question. He should wait till NVC sends the letter and not fake it.

So, you had to present a real original document to your police authority for them to release a police certificate? I only had to to go the local police station and ask for one and they mailed it to me a week later, so we don't ALL have to wait for NVC to send anything to get a police certificate. Once the online payment system becomes the official method of choice, the NVC won't even send out anything anymore with regards to the DS-230 since it would all be retrieved online. If the police authority will take a print out from the internet then all the better. Otherwise you'd probably have to make a special request to the NVC to have them send the police authority a letter requesting a police certificate. I think they have to do this in Korea, although I could be wrong...

I am also a girl, like you emotional, is why i understand what you are going through because we are all here the same here,thousand miles away from our spouse and we ended up to be so emotional and sensitive. So Cheer up, hehe you're not alone. Like you, i am also. But don't worry, everything is just a matter of "time" and everything will be okay, to be with our loved ones.

S AL, sorry to hear that you are having these troubles. Badspellor is right on target, I'd try printing the requirements by NVC and taking that to the police to let them read for themselves that infact, it is a document requirement for the visa process. If that dosen't work (cuz some can be hard headed) then, have ur hubby call NVC maybe by chance they will provide such a letter. If none of those two works.. then you guys may have to just wait until you get the forms from NVC... But try the first two.. u never know!!! And no this dosent count as faking anything.

Good luck to you.. let us know how it goes...

The information she needs is posted--for just this reason--on the NVC website--from the State Dept Website. . . all you have to do is search the document requirements from that site, it is generally available and everyone gets the same package. . .here is the description for Islamabad. No need to "fake"

By the way, for my husband's Pakistani Certificate, they did not ask for a letter. In fact, he didn't even have to request it personally, his family just had to take a passport style photo to the local police and ask for a certificate stating no record.

What city are you trying to get this from? My hubby's was Karachi and it was very simple.

I can not thank you all enough for all the support. Shape (its awfully comforting reading your post). Kitty, thank you for the reassurance because at times all we need is a little push from people who know whats going on and it helps a lot. emt103c, thanks tons for the posts. I am sure you know the dodgy system here too well. With the right people taking care of the documents at government offices...anything is possible but in my case, even though I have nothing to be afraid of, it seems like a really tough task getthing this one certificate!

I'll definitely keep you all posted. Thanks again for all the help!

Mu husband needs his PC too, and they ask for NVC papers at police dept. He just printed out NVC requirements from online and that worked for him.

I have exactly same problem where my wife lives in a part of India. Police department requires some physical document from Embassy or interview letter before issuing police certificate. There are several people in my area now e-mailing local Embassy to send them letter as a proof and having success. You can do exactly same.

Also when you request police certificate then you can use this cover letter template to make police department aware that NVC has changed process. You can found cover letter posted here. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=1786154

Good luck. Keep us posted.

Thank you very much for the link. I am sure this topic can be helpful for others too who are going through the same phase. I wish you all the best. Thanks once again.

I didn´t have to show anything except my ID in order to get my police certificate and they gave it to me in a couple of seconds. The OP didn´t ask about me getting my police certificate. The OP said in his/her country the police needs a letter from NVC so that´s what they should present to the police. Not a fake.

I know the OP didn't ask you about you getting your police certificate. The point was that we don't ALL have to wait for the NVC as you stated in your original reply. Perhaps if you did and had to wait three months after the NVC requests the DS-230, you would have approached things differently. For the record, I don't think what the OP was asking for originally was all that outrageous. Does not everyone using James's Shortcuts do the same thing? Creating official NVC documents that they were going to receive anyway but creating them ahead of time to save time in the mail? I think the alternatives that myself and others have presented to the OP in this thread sure beat waiting it out.

If I had to wait for something only 3 months I´d be happy. There is no way I would start faking something just cuz of only 3 months of wait. I don´t know what James´s shortcut is but I know one thing. The OP got married a couple of months ago. They even already have their NOA2. That´s pretty fast in my eyes. If they wanna fake something that´s their choice. But if they need to ask fake or not to fake, I say not to fake and there is no way anybody can make me advice them to fake something

So you would have been happy waiting 273+ days for your visa instead of 183? To each their own I guess! If there's a legal way I could NOT delay my case three months I think you know what I'd do. Perhaps calling it "fake" was a poor choice of words. It's no more fake than printing out your own forms off the internet rather than waiting for the NVC or whomever to send them to you (who often send out expired forms even!). If you'd just rather wait for everything to be mailed to you and fill it out when it comes, I'll have a drink for you as you're a much more patient person than I!
