Yes, you need a UK police certificate, assuming he was 16 or older at the time.

I would also recommend calling about the IV invoice. A lot better to wait an hour on hold, than 30-50 days. :dancing:

Good morning all :-)

Could anybody tell me if i really have to send a new AOS form with my checklist response, even there was nothing wrong with it? They only requested the 2013 tax return again for my son´s case.

It would make things sooo much easier. I could just send it right away, without having to wait for my husband to sign a new one and have it mailed to me. :clock:

Thanks in advance and have a great day :goofy:

Once we got my visa approved....can I just enter the country and leave a few days later? I have to do this because we got a dog and the airline won't fly him in the summer, on top of that I got 2 little ones...so avoiding traveling with screaming kids and whinny dog just so we can have a smooth moving.

For checklists, you only need to send back what was wrong/missing. If your checklist didn't mention the I-864, then no, you don't send another one.

I got an email (pasted below) from the NVC today and don't understand what it means. Has anyone else gotten this email? Does it mean I'm close to a Case Complete? We've been at the NVC since August and did a checklist in November. On the CEAC website, my AOS fields are both N/A. My husband's IV Fee field shows PAID, IV Application shows Complete, Civil Documents shows N/A. Any advice greatly appreciated. Don't want to get my hopes up if this is just a pointless email. Thanks!

Dear Sir/Madam,

All documentation necessary to complete the National Visa Center's processing of your case has been received. As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, the applicant, petitioner and attorney (if applicable) will be notified. The applicant should NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the US Embassy or Consulate General has issued a visa. The US Embassy or Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview.

Sincerely,

Director National Visa Center

My NOA2 didn't contain A number for me. (Beneficiary). Many people are getting A number for beneficiry. But I didn't. Is this ok? ?

Don't worry about it. Same thing to my spouse (beneficiary). US embassy will generate A-number (I think) before visa is issued. A-number will be appeared on green card after visa is issued and immigrant fee is paid.
