Police Clearance Issue

[jj_stout 4]

We received an email (Checklist) telling me to pass my Police Clearance. We already sent the original copy to them what's left to me is my Personal Copy. Does it mean they also want my personal copy? Or I could just bring my Personal Copy during the interview? Thank guys.

If it's just in the checklist, it's just a reminder that you have to get it done. If the police sends it over, the consulate should have it in record. Bring your personal copy to your interview as a back up.

So I don't need to send NVC my last copy which is the Personal Copy? I'm just confused why did they put it in on the checklist wherein we already sent them. =(

Don't send your personal copy to the NVC. The copy you sent with the packet is what they need.

It could be a false checklist or you could be in a situation similar to ours, where the NVC overlooks or misplaces some of your documents, then sends you a checklist saying they don't have them. If you are 100% certain that the document was in the packet, call the NVC and escalate until you reach a "supervisor". Advise that person of the situation and insist your case documents be reviewed by a "supervisor".

Do not let them delay your case because they have made an error by not properly reviewing your documents. USCIS and NVC errors are official grounds for possibly having an expedite approved. Although with our case, the "supervisor" simply pulled the petition from the desk of the first level processor, reviewed the documents, found the "missing" papers, and then personnally approved the petition.

This happened after our Senator's staff contacted the NVC, made them aware of the fact that they were actively monitoring our case, and advised that we (my wife and I) were absolutely positive the NVC had made errors.

So have your husband contact his U.S. Senator for assistance. Every U.S. Senator has liasons who can help out when needed. Make sure you advise the NVC "supervisor" that you are in contact with your Senator's staff, that they is actively monitoring your situation, and that his staff will be sending official inquires to the NVC regarding your case.

My husband call them to double check if they got my police clearance in the packet. NVC said they have it, they told my husband they need another copy for the embassy. I am still doubtful if I need to send them my personal copy or I could just bring it to the embassy during the interview?

I sent the same thing for my husband I left the personal copy for us. Is it not expired? I think it's valid for 6months/1year prior to the issue date.

Do you have marriage before? If you do, you need to put all the names you used before in AKA. name before getting married,name with your marriage before.and your name right now if you used the famiky name of your husband

[jayjayj 571]

If they told him that, they gave him incorrect information. We sent exactly one copy of my wife's PI police certificate to the NVC. We did not bring her personal copy to the Embassy for the interview and they never asked us for it.

Are they holding up your petition until you send them another copy? If they are, have your husband call and get through to a "supervisor", because that is not the normal process.

What was the validity period of the police certificate? Did you live in any other countries form more than 6 months in the last few years?

Why argue with them. Make a photocopy of your "personal copy" and send it in. I agree though that the original NBI police certificate is all they actually need.

I already photocopied my personal copy and the first copy we sent to them. I'm just confused cause if they want my personal copy it only means they need 2 copies of police clearance cause we already sent them the first one. From others experience they only submitted 1 copy.

Yes, one original, (not copy) should be enough. If they ask for another, send them a photocopy. There is no point in arguing with them, and no problem for you to comply.

Yeah we sent them an original copy. Ok thanks.
