MY DS-230 CHECKLIST

[ryandgracey 2]

Here is my DS-230 checklist:

1. NSO birth certificate plus photocopy

2. NSO marriage certificate plus photocopy

3. Photocopy of biographic page of passport

4. NBI clearances in married and maiden name and photocopies

5. Police clearances in married and maiden name (is this really needed) and photocopies

6. 2pcs 2x2 visa photos

7. DS-230 form, Part I signed

My 5-year-old daughter's checklist:

1. NSO birth certificate plus photocopy

2. Our marriage certificate plus photocopy (to show that we were married before her 18th bday)

3. Photocopy of biographic page of passport

4. 2 pcs 2x2 visa photos

5. DS-230 form, Part I signed by me

6. Optional (?) Affidavit of Illegitimacy

Did I miss anything? Also, on my daughter's form #20 states to list all places lived in since age 16. Do I need to fill this up for her?

I also read on a wiki page that I should not leave any gap in my employment history. I was in between work for 8 months from 2003 to 2004 and i filled it with "mainly relieving other doctors at their clinics when they could not come in". Is this ok?

Will be sending all the form out in the next two days. would LOVE to know your responses.

Thanks in advance!

Police clearances in married and maiden name (is this really needed) and photocopies.

No need if you didn't spend more than 6 months in another country since you were 16.

I was in between work for 8 months from 2003 to 2004 and i filled it with "mainly relieving other ok?doctors at their clinics when they could not come in".

I'd just say unemployed for that period.

No need.

yes, put your current address.. NBI, i only pass my married name.. coz when i changed my status, my name appear in the NBI was my SURNAME de MARRIED NAME, GIVEN NAME y MIDDLE NAME.. so, when you observed it.. the MAiden name and married name was appear.

[vsmtghdy 2]

I only submitted NBI clearance in my married name (no need for the maiden name since we have changed our status) and I also submitted Police Certificate (not Police Clearance) from places I lived since I was 16. For the employment--> just put there "Physician Reliever" for those year/months (I was also a physician reliever in the early part of my employment history after board exam). No need to send photocopies, just send the original copy you got from NSO and NBI. For the NBI, just get a new copy few weeks before your interview and also make sure you have extra copies of your documents (NSO, etc) for your interview as well and for future use. You are well prepared.

For your daughter just write your current address (if she's less than 16). Good Luck and God Bless.

When we get an NBI clearance, we are given two copies automatically, one personal copy and one copy for whatever purpose we need it for, in this case the DS230. So the personal copy is also an original and is valid for the same time period the other copy is which is one year. Also, did "no record on file" appear in your married-name NBI? I was told that this is because this is a new application and obviously they have no record on file.

I included photocopies of the documents as per instructions on the site I was directed to when I downloaded the coverpage for the ds230. As for the CENOMAR, the only surviving copy is with my husband and he will attach it to the form when i send it to him.

Now regarding the "physician reliever" thingy...will they not ask for references for this?

Thank you, thank you , thank you!!!

I am preparing the same for my wife in the Philippines and may I ask what is CENOMAR? Glad I read this as I think she only has NBI clearance for her maiden name as needed to marry. So I will pass this information on to her. Thanks friends

[ryandgracey 2]

CENOMAR is CErtificate of NO MARriage. You are supposed to have obtained this prior to getting a marriage license. I had two copies done, one we submitted to the City Hall in QC and the other I sent to my husband in the US. He has it on file and will attach at least a photocopy of it to the forms.

I just followed the link i was shown when I downloaded the coverpage for the ds230.

[sassygirl876 0]

Hi all!!! I'm also gathering all requirements for my DS-230. What i have are these:

1. NSO birth certificate

2. NSO marriage certificate

3. Photocopy of biographic page of passport

4. Police & NBI clearance in married name

5. 2pcs 2x2 visa photos (white background with case #, my name & birthdate at the back)

6. DS-230 form

In #20, the form didnt say we have to send police clearance of all the places we had lived since 16 y/o, right?? I am from Bacolod originally & just transferred to Makati for college & lived here since so this #20 + police clearance is making me nervous,hehe! I really hope i don't have to go to Bacolod!!

Well anyway, i have sealed my envelope & will send the package to my hubby now. Once he receives the IV receipt (& barcode), he can mail the package to NVC asap.
