police reports

[T&T&T 31]

Hello everyone

I received a notice that my case was transferred on Mar. 4th. I am starting to prepare for the NVC process and I have a couple of quick questions.

I am retired, I have been living in Vietnam since Jan. 2012 with two visits back to the States. One was for 6 weeks and one was for 7 weeks. I own my home in the States with bank accounts etc... my question is will I need a police certificate from Vietnam.

Question number two has to do with my stepdaughter. She will need a police certificate by the time we have our interview. She will be 16 on April 28th. In the mean time I will be sending documents to NVC before she is 16. Should I send a statement saying that she cannot apply for a certificate until she turns 16 and it can take up to 6 weeks to process. It may be possible to have a certificate by the time we have our interview and I could take it to the interview.

thanks for any comments...

You are the USC. There is no reason for you to have a police report. The police reports needed are for the beneficiary(s). Your wife needs one for sure. I cannot answer about the stepdaughter. What you suggested in writing a letter and explain the situation sounds good to me but in reality I have no idea about that one.

There's a Police Certificate for your own as Foreigner from a local police station, the purpose is mostly to work or employment screening. I never heard Consulate asked USC to provide it.

Stepdaughter (I almost wrote Strepdaughter there):

-- don't have to send "police certificate" to NVC. Only bring those PoliceCert(s) to interview @Consulate. Even in the event of delays (not able to have PoliceCert in hand), you can still interview with the PoliceCert application receipt & pickup voucher.

I found all these things by myself and my fiancee's experiences. I'm the self-doing on every paperworks in my lfie. I personally know a person used Marc Ellis for service, but almost 10 years have passed, and the case still goes nowhere, that couple was between the line of divorcing in the past 4 years :-( That's the reason I afraid to use services... because attorney(s) do/does make mistakes. And immigration mistake costly.
