Criminal Record Report -- Costa Rica

[AinsleyandHanzel 0]

My husband's case will be processed in Costa Rica, but we are putting everything together right now for the DS-230 and I am so confused on what we need to do for his criminal record report. We got his criminal record report from Los Tribunales and then took it to be translated. Then we went to La Casa Amarilla to get it authenticated and they put a bunch of stamps on it... someone told us that we have to take it to the consulate now, and we don't know if they meant the Consulate of Costa Rica or of the US??? Do we really have to take it there, or is it ready to be sent to the NVC?? I would appreciate ANY help on this because we are going to be in San Jose tomorrow in order to finish up everything!!!

You need a visa to the US.... These are issued by a US consulate...

If you can find a Costa Rica Consulate when you are in San Jose... then you are not really in San Jose... Consulates for a particular nation are only in foreign lands...

That is exactly what I was thinking... so do I need to take his Criminal Record Report to the Consulate of the US in Costa Rica to be authenticated, or are the steps I mentioned before enough??

you will give the police report when you are at the interview... no need to go now only to go again later...
