Please HELP

[jonikolett 0]

Hi,

We really need help because everybody tells different andd now we really dont know what to do. We are about to fill the DS-230. And we want to know what other documents we should send with the DS-230 to the NVC. I called the American Embassy in Hungary, my husband called the NVC -where the service was not so good- and they said something weird. Does anyone can help what should I send with the DS-230 and If I have to send, do I have to make the offical translation? Because NVC told no.. but I doubt they speak Hungarian

Please help us, because we are really desperated...

Can I send the DS-230 filled by black pen and send to the NVC by post?

We have another question on the DS-230: in the question 25, there is a part for "A" Number (if known) what is the "A" number?

Thank you so much, we really appreciate your help!

Please look here at the instructions as there are items missing in the list above.

Yes you can fill it in by hand (pen).

A number is 'Alien Registration Number' - you might have one if you previously applied for permanent residency or if you were in the U.S. as a student etc - you probably don't have one - if not - just write N/A in that area.

Maybe it sounds silly, but how can I make certified copy?

of what?

certified copy means that for example, the original is on file at a government agency and they provide you a "copy" with some sort of a STAMP on it

If NVC requires an original then a copy is not accepted

A certified copy is not like a photocopy that is certified by a notary etc - it's a certified copy 'from the issuing entity' - so for example - a Hungarian Marriage Certificate - you would go to the Vital Statistics office and get them to give you a certified copy of the Marriage entry - and you will send that original - plus you will also send a photocopy of each document: link

Birth, Marriage Certificates

Available. Persons should apply for birth, marriage and death certificates to the district or city Vital Statistics Records Office (Polgarmesteri Hivatal, Anyakonyvi Hivatal) having jurisdiction over the locality where the event in question occurred. There may be a fee for birth, marriage, and death certificates which must be paid in fee stamps.

Hungarian birth certificates for adopted children, or to children born out of wedlock but recognized by the father as his issue, will show the adoptive parents' or the recognizing father's name with no special indication as to adoption or acknowledgment of paternity. Furthermore, a child adopted by an unmarried person, or a child born out of wedlock and when there was no recognition of paternity, is given a fictitious father's name on the birth certificate without reference to the facts. Consequently, a birth certificate with a father's name listed thereon does not prove that the child was born of a legal marriage.

Birth certificates of children adopted by foreigners in Hungary indicate the actual place of birth but will also indicate the "place of origin" as the residence of the adoptive mother.

thanks for your help, now i realized that this case is not easy as i thought, I really appreciate your help

Maybe it sounds silly, but how can I make certified copy?

certified copy = hitelesitett masolat (issued at the Polgarmesteri Hivatal pertaining to the locality where the event took place). If you're from Budapest, this would be the Polga'rmesteri Hivatal pertaining to the kerulet in which the event (marriage, birth, etc.) took place.

Also, just as an FYI...the police certificate you will need, will have to come directly from the Kozigazgatasi es Elektronikus Kozszolgaltatasok Kozponti Hivatala...the one obtained at the Erkolcsi Bizonyitvany obtained through the post office is not sufficient.

Thanks for your help, now I am aware of the process.. 1 more thing doesnt let me be calm.. should I make the official translation of the birth certificate and the police certificate... because someone tells yes, then others tell no...

thanks again

Better if you get a professional translator to do it. Make sure there is a statement saying it is done by a competent translator. See NVC guide! Good luck!
