Hong Kong CNCC

[googles 0]

Hi all,

I tried a variant on this question on another forum and got some helpful links but I'm still confused.

I'm waiting for the DS-230 and I'm trying to get info together. My wife is the beneficiary, now living in Canada, but she spent >12 months in Hong Kong a few years back.

From what I've read from both the US and Hong Kong, for the CNCC Hong Kong requires something in writing from the US with our names and case number on it showing that this request is official. Then, once Hong Kong creates the certificate, they won't mail it to us, they instead want to mail it to the consulate.

Has anyone gone through this specific scenario? My confusion is:

(1) How do I get the NVC to generate the request letter I will need to give to Hong Kong?

(2) Hong Kong wants an address of where to send the certificate. Our NVC case number starts with MTL so Montreal will be where the interview is. But is that where Hong Kong should send it? Or is it supposed to go to NVC?

(3) If Montreal is where the certificate is supposed to go, when would they be expecting it? Right now, NVC still has my case and I assume the embassy knows nothing about me. So if Hong Kong sent it now to the embassy, wouldn't it just be lost or discarded?

(4) Wouldn't I normally send the police clearance/certificates along with the DS-230 to the NVC? How do I explain why there wouldn't be a Hong Kong clearance included? (Or does Hong Kong need to be instructed to send it to NVC instead of the embassy?)

I hope someone has experience with this and can offer some advice.

Thanks very much!

If your wife got the letter already from the consulate of Montreal, she has to photocopy the Visa instruction and the cover letter where you usually see her name on it, print the request form in the HK police site and send it to the Hongkong Police. usually it takes a month to wait before the Consulate of Montreal will have the police certificate.

We're still working with the NVC, not the Montreal consulate. I thought it's the NVC in the US that will be requesting these certificates to be sent with the DS-230. Perhaps when I send some document with our names on it to Hong Kong with the request, I should tell them to send the certificate to the NVC in US rather than the consulate in MTL? Would they do that? Thanks

A few weeks from now NVC will inform you that your application is in process and two weeks later after that NVC will send your documents to Montreal. The mbassy then contact and sends infos to your wife including the Visa Instruction and packets and all those DS forms tht she has to filled-out. Its at that time that she has to request ploice certificates from Hk Police.

This page (http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3194.html) seems to be telling me that the NVC in the USA will send me the DS-230 (not the embassy), and after completing it I need to send it and the supporting documents back to the NVC in the US, not Montreal:

"When complete -

Please send the completed DS-230 forms (Parts 1 and 2) to the NVC along with any other documents requested in this information packet. Please use the envelope supplied by the NVC when returning the information."

Are you saying after I send the DS-230 back to NVC in the US, they won't care that all the police certificates aren't there and will forward the packet to the embassy anyway? We also need a Philippines certificate, which we should be able to get in hand and will probably send that with the DS-230 to the NVC, just not the Hong Kong one.

Thanks!

I have applied for a Certificate of No Criminal Conviction in Hong Kong wayback in 2010 and the certifying agency sent me an official receipt of the processed document. My whole expectation is that the CNCC has been forwarded to NVC but an email I received from NVC last August 31, 2015 tells me to provide them a CNCC. How could this happen? Where is the CNCC that I applied for and has been processed by the Hong Kong Police? Attached are the receipts regarding the application of the CNCC.
