Polic Reports Required In Honduras

[Gondorf 1]

Hi Everyone!

 

I am having trouble with the specific Police Report requirements from NVC.

 

I have 2 boys, one over 19 and the other under 17.  Both were under 18 at time

of petition.

 

The reports were obtained in Tegucigalpa and are titled:

 

Republic Of Honduras Judiciary

Certification Overseas

 

Include name, address, gender, date of birth

 

Valid for 6 months

 

..and are signed by

Coordinator Criminal Records Unit

 

My children were told that the records they have obtained were correct to submit to NVC,

however, NVC has sent me a letter stating that the police records I have submitted were

not acceptable.

 

Does anyone have experience with this, who can explain to me exactly how to optain the

specific police document required by NVC and which office my children need to go to in

Tegucigalpa to obtain it?

 

I'm in the U.S. and my children are from my marriage.  I am not familiar with the government

offices in Tegucigalpa, but my sons inquired and were assured that they were given the

correct police records necessary for NVC.  I have forwarded all correspondence to them,

with instructions, and even they are confused.

 

Apparently, there is a specific police record FORMAT that is only accepted by the NVC

from Honduras, but we are 'stumped' to find out what it is?

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

 

Best wishes to ALL in their Visa Journey...

NVC has not been very clear with our case. My husband and step-daughter submitted Police Certificates Issued by DPI in San Pedro Sula. My husband's case completed on Feb 6 and waiting for interview appt. For my step daughter's case, NVC did not accept the Police Certificate. We called NVC and was advised that the certificate has to be issued by the DPI in Tegus. The only difference between my husband and my step daughter is that he resides in the USA since 2006 and was granted the waiver and she resides in Honduras. Per https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Honduras.html see below.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help Yadimarie!

 

I see 2 things I have done wrong, already.

 

Our sons did not have a letter of request as indicated in the instructions.  Any advice from

someone who has done this before would be appreciated.  I am assuming that I simply need

to type a formal request for the reports, stating the reason needed, and address it to the Director of the DPI.

 

Or, is this something that needs to be written by their birth mother or father?

 

I believe they obtained the reports in Tegucigalpa, but not from the DPI headquarters.

 

Any additional specific instructions would be appreciated.  Thanks again for your help Yadimarie!
