Apparently NVC was just waiting for me to lose all hope, sit back and get comfortable before throwing us for a loop. Yesterday evening we received an email notification for a May 19 interview in Londo

Oh no! Time to educate more NVC staff on geography:) Good luck sorting that out.

Opting in with ENROLL for EP is not the same as receiving emails from NVC about your fees etc. That happens regardless of whether you're from a country that can do EP/enroll.

I personally chose to use snail mail... not sure it will save time, but it's saving me from the long wait for ENROLL acceptance and emailing/re-emailing my packages like some other Canadians ended up doing. I'll be the guinea pig statistics-wise for the point in time:)

I did the same thing as you. I chose not to do EP and mailing everything in.

The first two times I called NVC I spoke with him..... Aurthur can be Mr. Nasty Pants.... :angry:.....

Its a good idea to magically disconnect the moment you hear his name.....

I changed it up a bit and called for updates in the evenings for while until I recovered from the Arthur Encounter.

You need to provide original documents to NVC. That being said, if you are applying from Australia (which your flag suggests you are) then it will be forwarded directly to the consulate in Sydney from the police station prior to your interview (you will not receive a copy). If you check the regional forums you will see that there are some differences depending on where you are in Aus and whether you order a federal or state police check.

NVC seem to be across this and I haven't seen anyone have any issues when they haven't sent it with their IV package. You will need to wait until you have a case number to request the check otherwise it will be sent to NVC without any reference to your case (and could be discarded). I have heard that a few others on VJ put a note n the covering letter of their IV package stating that it had been requested and sent directly to the consulate just to cover themselves. I believe it can take 2-3 weeks so best to order it as soon as you have your case number.

I live in South Australia and they are sending the PC to my address and then I will send it to the consulate with the rest of the paperwork. They didn't seem to have any idea what I meant when I said it was for a visa to enter the US, either.

Ok, thanks. Also, is it a national police certificate for all of Mexico or just for the state he lives in?

It's for the state. He has to go to the Procurarodia General de Justicia del estado or something like that, and it costs about 235 pesos. Thats what it cost in Puebla anyways.
