NVC Requirements

[JustinS 44]

My wife and I are trying to plan in advance and I keep getting conflicting information on the police report.  Will the NVC need an official police report from my wife's country or is that just the interview?  

 

Otherwise the NVC is just tax/income information correct? Once approved, we want to request the report within the 30 days the NVC takes to assign a case number if its needed there.  Trying to cut time where we can.  Thanks!

My husband just went to the police department in Haiti to try and get one.  They advised him that they need the letter from the Visa Department regarding the interview before they can run the report.  That maybe just Haiti, but wanted to let you know what he was told.  In Haiti at the Interview, it is required.

It seems a bit easier than that in the UK, but if you're already at the NVC and its not been asked for... then that may be my answer....

When I asked the VISA Department, they said that they do not need it to close the case but he will need at interview....good luck.

You can always call them to ask..they should no if one will be needed or not.

My friend is at the NVC stage and he just received a checklist from the NVC which will reset his 11 week processing period.  The checklist was for a missing police report.  When you go on the NVC site, it clearly says to send a police report.  I honestly wouldn't trust any officer/agent on the phone because some don't know what they are talking about.  If it says on the NVC site to send the police report, then you need a police report. 

If the police station is asking for a letter from the NVC, then I would print them the instructions of what data is needed straight from the NVC site.  Or I would reach out to the embassy in Haiti and ask them what you or your spouse should do

Thank you for the reply.  I have been told it depends on the country.

For the UK, you should get an ACRO certificate.  If you have "No Live Trace" or "Further Information Stepped Down", you should get a Subject Access Report as well which would definitely be required at the interview.

My husband received a "Caution" for which there was no fine and no court summons.  He's never even been to court for a parking ticket and we were issued a checklist (which was overturned).  Acro certificate takes a few weeks so submit a request about a month before you expect an NOA2 approval.

I'm so confused by this process.  So, the NVC will ask for two packages.... one with financials from me... one with documents from my wife... but most of those documents have been sent to the USCIS.... does the NVC not receive them (Birth certs/Passport photo, marriage cert, divorce decree etc.)

Two separate government entities.  

Whatever is listed as required by the NVC - send again.

• https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Supporting_documents.html
• https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country/UK.html
