Staple the sworn affidavit of age behind the NPC's Attestation Of Birth both originalsand(for your records and for your interview) then send the photocopies same way you stapled  the originals to NVC

Quick question guys. Does anyone in this forum know if the US embassy in Dakar, Senegal, allows petitioners to attend their spouse's interview? I was told by NVC that I would have to check with the embassy as some embassies do not allow petitioners to attend the interview. I have sent a couple of emails to the Dakar embassy but they have not responded. So I thought I would ask the question here to see I could get some answers. Thanks!

As always, the canned response from NVC this morning. 2 days to this "8 week" wait, going to be getting a lot more pissed after Wednesday. Complete BS.

I'm sure most do accept but some would stay in the back room. I will be there for my wife's interview with our biological boys. Hope your embassy accepts! Fingers crossed!

I have a feeling it's the embassy that is working but the email somehow come from NVC! The embassy replied to my email (really fast) and advised that a new interview date can be weeks or months away... so I am going to have to cancel my vacation plans  

I don’t know where you vacation is but hopefully you got insurance on it?? Anyways yes take the interview its not worth it at all to wait more weeks away..no way

Hey guys! We just got approved last week and I'm just looking to get prepared for the NVC stage. My husband is currently working in Italy but he's from Ireland and will be moving back by the end of the month. He's been in Italy since October and worked in Greece the year before for about 8 months. Does he need to get police certificates from Greece and Italy or just Ireland? 

you are required to have police reports from every place he stayed unfortunately.

Yeah I think we'll try to get them all even though he won't technically be residing there once we get to that stage the NVC page on the US Department of State webpage wasn't very clear. It said that only if they are currently residing in a foreign country and have been there more than 6 months. But I know most people just get them from anywhere they have resided. Do you know if it's easy to get them without actually being in the country?

I was asked by my lawyer to get from every country if resided for 6 months after the age of 16. It's always safe to have it than run for it last minute. I am not sure about it being easy or not. It depends on the country.

Yeah it seems that you can only get one from Greece in person and they don't provide it to non residents. They send it directly to the Athens consulate which doesn't make sense for us since his processing will be in Dublin.

Seems like an authorised representative is needed. I thought it would be like Saudi Arabia, because police certificates are not needed for non-citizens who don't live in the Kingdom, but there is no exception for Greece.

Yeah it's weird. I just talked to my husband and he says he is looking into it and might be able to request one at the Greek Consulate in Ireland. So we'll see. Luckily I work for an airline so if he needs to fly to Greece to get it then that's what he'll have to do. Quick question for you @ms_bobdog how long did it take for you to get a case number for NVC? I just called and I know it's early but I just wanted to see what they'd say. The agent gave the whole wait 6 weeks script but did you just keep calling in order to get it or did they send it to you?

[Reuven 5]

I see I'm a little late to the party. We got our case number on the 27th. Now waiting on ds-261 confirmation. How long did it take you guys?

Hello everyone,

If you guys have multiple pages of same document (i864, tax transcript), did you guys stapled them? I'm just worried sending everything loose thinking they might get mixed up.
