What does a Canadian send to the NVC with DS 230?

[ernie 0]

Dear Canadians:

My wife is from Kitchener Ontario.

Has anyone recently submitted a packet of stuff to the NVC with form DS 230 when applying for a CR1?

I copied the items below from a post in the CR1 forum.

Here are my questions:

By the list below, I'm assuming that the medical does not need to be submitted until the interview?

1. Can the medical be done prior to the DS-230 package just to get it out of the way?

2. Do the police report need to include fingerprinting, or just a crimnal records check based on the computer?

3.My wife got a ploice check done in June before we were married. Is that valid, or does she need to get another one done?

I think this is what is required to send to the NVC for Canadians doing the CR1 visa

A copy of intending immigrants biographic page of passport(s) including expiration date.

Original or certified "long" birth certificate.

Original adoption decree. (if applicable)

Marriage certificate. (if applicable)

Divorce decree(s) or death certificate(s) (if applicable)

Police certificate(s)

Court and prison records.(if applicable)

Custody records. (if applicable)

Military records (if applicable)

One only requires fingerprinting if they have ever had a criminal record. NO criminal record, NO fingerprinting. The police check is good for 1 year. Ensure it states on it that it was done CANADA wide and not just in that city.

Not sure about the DR thing. Some DR's requie the letter from trhe pkg stating you need the medical, some do not. I'm sure others will pipe up with info on that.

Thank-you, this was helpful!

Did you send your medical report to NVC, Montreal, or did you take it with you in person to your interview?

You do the medical with the DR. get Xray and blood work done. Some places you get everythign that day, other places you have to come back and pick it up, or they can courier it to you. YOU carry the medical stuff to the interview. The Dr visit is paid in cold hard cash!!!

Hi All

If the RCMP does it through thier computer records would they USCIS class that as being Canada wide

Where on there would one check to see it's a Canada wide criminal search

Just curious and being prepared

Ok, Let's see if I got this correct:

Option 1

If my wife takes the CR1 route, she will mail her stuff to NVC,

Once Visa is approved, NVC will forward to Montreal.

Montreal will send her a packet that does not need mailed back to Montreal, but does need to be brought along to the interview.

With this initial packet, will she be given her interview date?

When can she suggest when she wants her interview date?

Is there a checklist that needs to be sent back to Montreal before they will issue and interview date?

Option 2

If she takes the K3 route, she will need to mail a check list back to Montreal saying that she completed all the paperwork and is ready to have an interview.

Best wishes on living in the U.S. next week.

Thanks, Ernie

Once your case is completed, NVC will send it to the Montreal Consulate. Then, MTL will send you a letter (Package 4) to tell you about your interview date. When you get that letter, you can book your medical exam appointment.

bty, when i applied for the police certificate, the officer told me that the certificate is only valid for 6 months. (i got it from downtown Commissionaires)

Not a solid fact, but a fellow Vjer asked Mtl, and they stated it was good for 1 yr!!
