My wife is currently over in the philippines and just finishing up getting her police clearences. My question is when I sumit the ds-230 what do I need to send in with it? I know I have to send in copies of the police clearences and a certified copy of the marriage certificate. What about the birth certificate does that need to be a copy or original. If I send in the original doesnt she need that for the interview? Is there anything I am missing?

documents I am submitting

Form ds-230

Copies of police clearances

Certified copy of marriage certificate

copy of or certified copy? --Birth certificate

Go here and type in "MNL" for Manilla and you will find instructions:

For the BC you need a certified copy, at least..

Good luck!

Best,

Thanks I called NVC they said everything needs to be original except copy of passport. She stated that the documents will be waiting for here at the embassy when it is sent over. Is this true? She already got the police clearences and only got one from each city. I hope she wont need to bring originals to the interview as she had to fly all over to get these.

i forgot to list a copy of her passport,

yes, the docs will be sent to the embassy,

but during the interview the CO will ask for this original docs,

she only needs an NBI clearance,

she will only need police clearance if she's been out of the country for more than six months since she turns 16 (from that country)

Well we dont have time or money to have her go all over the philippines to get a second copy of police clearances. I really hope only having one original will not be a problem. Plus she needs one from Austia and they told her already it takes 8-10 weeks to get one.

she don't have to get police clearance of every places she lives in the Philippines, an NBI clearance will suffice.

ask her to request 2 copies of police clearance from Austria, one for NVC and the other for her interview, she might be put on AR if she can't present it during the interview
