ABOUT PROCESSING DS-230

[Bencj 0]

I got some problems about processing my ds-230. i already pass the needed requirements in ds-230 and hoping to receive a schedule for interview but. instead of receiving a schedule for interview, i recieve another request about ds-230 form. they said that they need a true or certified copies or Original copies of the following documents:

1. Birth Certificate

2. Marriage Contract

3. NBI or police Clearance

4. photos for visa

5. i dont really know the exact name (Clearance for divorce)

QUESTIONS:

1.) Do i really need to pass the original papers they need? I heard some rumors that i dont need to pass the original copies of the documents they said, because i need it for my interviews someday.

2.) If i will pass the original copies of the documents they need, can i get another true, certified or Original copies(Except for Birth certificate)?

3.) i also read there instructions about stamp, i mean how can i get stamp and Where should i get it?

Please Help me. Im really confious. Here's my e-mail add: chingkangs@yahoo.com

THANKS

Hello!!! I submitted all original papers together with my DS-230 and i secure for another original copy of the said papers but if you cant secure for another copy of the documents stated make a copy of that (i.e. divorce decree) then send it with your DS-230 and another thing during my interview at the US Embassy in Manila they didnot ask for the original or even just a copy of the papers i send together with my DS-230 but you having those papers in your hand at the time of your interview is preparation in case they will ask for it anyway you can always request for another copy of Marriage Contract, Birth Certificate & NBI/Police Clearance if your from the Phils....Regarding your question on #3 if you are talking about the stamp on your Birth Certificate and Marriage Contract you dont need that it already has Security Papers (SECPA) in it and a Barcode upon issuance of NSO anyway the Embassy will verify this papers that's why you are paying Verification Fee 2 weeks before your interview to check these papers out if it's Genuine, for Police/NBI Clearance there should be a Dry Seal in it and that's what they are pertaining to documentary stamp. I hope i help you answer your question. Goodluck and GODBLESS!!!
