Colombia Police certificate

[Claudis927 5]

Hello! I am helping my mom with her F2B(daughter of LPR)visa. In May we did the steps and send all documents. Today we got an email from NVC saying to check your case messages. The page is very glitchy and it doesn’t show me the full message. I do see that the Police Certificate is an “invalid” document and needs to be resubmitted. Anyone can help me find the correct one that they want for Colombia. I was so positive that I send them the correct one.

Can you load the message removing any case number and name?

Did you follow the DoS reciprocity page? It’s not expired?

Colombians receive their permanent cédula (national ID) number when they turn 18; applicants younger than 18 are not required to obtain a Police Certificate.

Any applicant who has a police record that states "Actualmente no es requirido por autoridad judicial alguna" (in English, "currently not wanted by any judicial authority") must bring their complete court records, along with an English translation, to the embassy on the day of their interview. Applicants who fail to bring these court records and the English translation will be required to return to the embassy for a second interview.

Additionally, individuals who have lived in the United States without legal permission and/or applicants who unsuccessfully applied for asylum should obtain their report of entry and exits ("certificado de movimientos migratorios") from Colombia. Applicants can obtain this report from Migración Colombia at migracioncolombia.gov.

Whenever you send foreign documents, you have to look at Travel.State.Gov to see what specific documents they want to see.

I had the same issue a few months back with my husband's certificate! I coudn't read the glitch and it just said "Invalid doc."

 

i think they have changed this process now and want people to pay for the certificate. He ended up calling la cancilleria and they directed him to Cancilleria.gov.co .... he had to pay a fee for the certificate and it came sort of translated and with an apostille and everything. I submitted it just like that and we were approved very quickly.

 

It was simple to do online or if you call them up.  Were you able to resolve?
