Police reports

[megaladon 2]

I wanted to ask what kind of police report from Indonesia would be accepted for the Green Card application, how recent it must be, if fingerprints are also required, etc.  Basically I need to tell my wife what exactly to get.  We'll be applying through the Frankfurt Embassy since we both live in Germany, but she is in her home country now (Indonesia) and wants to know what to bring with her back to Germany before we apply for the Green Card.

For Indonesia, per https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Indonesia.html, below.

 

I printed a copy of the information from the web site and included it with my application.

Police Records

Unavailable for applicants inside and outside Indonesia. Indonesian police certificates require initial processing at a local or village level, which is nonstandard in nature, can be subject to capricious decisions by officials and may require nonofficial payments to proceed further."

I wonder if they accepted your application or not without a police report and only this website?

 

My wife said most Indonesians are getting it done at the national level in Jakarta, but she didn't mention anything about needing local involvement as well.

Do they actually ask for the police reports? What if I don’t have one of the reports from a Country I previously lived in? Would they deny me or only delay the process?

It will delay the process, you can have your interview but if you don't have all the required docs you'll be asked to send it in afterwards and your decision will be held until after it's received.
