NVC Filers - January 2014

[Infoneeded 32]

My case was shipped to department of state for visa processing. IS this the same as nvc.

yes, NVC is under DOS

[maksimov 15]

Yet another simple question: my wife's Japanese police certificate is sealed. Should we open it in order to provide a certified translation and photocopy? Or just send the sealed envelope in the IV package?

​

​Her Korean police certificate is unsealed, so we will provide a certified translation and photocopy for that.

​

​Thanks again!

PCCs are the only civil doc you not need to provide copy of,

as

you not need the original in the USA for anything.

birth certificate, marriage certificate, do the original + photocopy bits into NVC.

​Thanks for the info -- I take it then that the originals of the civil documents are returned to the beneficiary at the interview?

​

​Also, should I provide certified translations of the police certificates?

[Darnell 8,478]

the beneficiary's civil docs are USUALLY returned

if

original + photocopy is sent in to NVC.

I say usually, as is some problem with Consular Staff, the local workers, not USCitizens, not really paying attention all the time, so it's best to actually ask the Vice-Consul to return them at the interview.

as to translation of a PCC - how to translate a sealed document? I be stumped.

​The Japan PCC is sealed and probably not in English; the Korean PCC is not sealed, and not in English.

Is there no mention of the Japanese police clearance on the website of the USEM of Japan?

Hi Saylin,

Does NVC care about how much money is in my savings/checking account? I meet the income requirement but living in LA and paying all my student loans, i am pretty much living paycheck to paycheck.

thanks,

[you & i 16]

I sent few different packages. NVC received IV packet on Dec 31st.

when you call the NVC and talk to an operator you can ask about if your IV package got reviewed and accepted and this is the way i did last time and i found out they did review and accept the IV package.

I know for a fact that they do not case at all. My wife earns over $90,000 a year but finds it very hard to save. Lives in LA and has to be over $1000 a month on student loans. Actually, a friend of mine immigrated to Boston last year and his wife has over $50,000 debt in credit cards and loans (not student related), and did not have a penny to her name but she earned over the requirement. As long as you meet the income requirement, that's fine.

​Good tip: http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/visa/tvisa-ivpolice.html

​

​They write: Japanese Police Certificates are sealed. If the seal is broken, the certificate is no longer valid. Do not open the certificate prior to submission to the Embassy/Consulate.

That probably answers that, though the interview will be in Seoul.

​

​Thanks!
