Hi, I'm preparing docs for my NVC journey and one of the prerequisite of NVC is Police Clearance. As per Singapore Police Force, they will not issue Police Clearance until proof of document from relevant consulate/immigration authority/government bodies particular certificate is required by such authority.

Can someone advise me where can I get or request this document without waiting for the NVC letter that they required it?Should I just wait for the NVC letter? :(..I don't want to add this clearance in my waiting period. Btw, singapore police clearance is two weeks process. :whistle:

I've also been wondering about this. Doesn't look like the OP has been back in awhile, but does anyone else have any idea?

Thanks. :)

For hong kong police my wife wrote a letter requesting a police cert, printed out a copy of the documents required page a copy of noa2, a receipt of payment for IV processing and a barcode cover sheet from the online ceac portal. My wife just called the other day and they said they are processing it so maybe its worth a shot for you guys?

usually a 'check list letter' via EMAIL, from NVC, is sufficient.

Ya get a check list letter response

when

AFTER you've submitted all documents that you have with the DS-230 , and NVC reviews the casefile, finds something MISSING,

and then fires off the email, to tell you WHAT'S MISSING.

SG police actually very nice, IF you mention to them is for USA Immigrant Visa Processing, show them the list of documents required from the DS-230 instructions, see DS-230 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html and print the section about civil documents, show them, along with a COPY of the NOA-2, approval notice on the I-130 petition.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Hi!

Great suggestions and I will definitely try it.

The other thing though is that according to the reciprocity table on the NVC website, the singapore police certificate will be sent directly to the requesting/processing office. I should probably try to time it so that it gets to the NVC around the same time as the DS-230 right? Or does it not matter as long as the NVC has contacted the USC that they have received the petition?

How far in advance do you guys think I should try to obtain the certificate (eg. when my husband pays the IV fee or when we mail in the DS-230)?

The processing time for each application is approximately 10 days.

Thanks for your thoughts and advice. :)
