DS-230 Question

[lomeshp 0]

I was reading LingChe's NVC Shortcut. In the shortcut, it says with DS-230 we have to send in the Original Police Certificate. I remember when I filed for my wife a few years back she took the certificate to her interivew, is this no longer true? do I have to send the in the police certificate right now?

Are you sure you aren't confusing the Medical Report with the PCC?

As far as I know from mine and my fiance's past experience is that you submit the PCC with your passport at the VFS.

That's what I thought, but in the shortcut it says to submit the Police Clearance Certificate with ds-230. I am so confused.

I don't know what VFS is - but anyway.

OP - the experience you had a few years ago may well be different than it is now. Up until a couple of years ago there were two kinds of posts - Standard and Interview. Standard posts had documents submitted directly at the interview - interview posts had applicants submit the documents to NVC.

There are few, if any 'Standard' posts left and most people have to submit their original documents to NVC.

The VFS is the 'Visa Forwarding Service'. They are the ones who recieve the documents from the visa applicants and then forward these same docs to the Embassy, it is also where the applicant pays their application fees.

Submit your PCC, Passport and other supporting documents to the VFS. You will have this info in your packet 4 giving you the addresses of each VFS.

Which embassy is your case assigned to? Let me know and I'll look it up for you and send you the link to packert 3 and packet 4 with the instructions.

You need to send the original PCC or you will get an RFE. Check out the DOS site. They have very clear instructions on the documents to be sent.
