Please help with documents to submit to NVC and interview process

[scaredCat 0]

Hello dear community. I am the petitioner (US citizen) and my spouse is getting documents to be submitted to NVC.

My wife and I are both from same country but she is in her home country and I live/work in the usa.

 

Can you please tell me:

1 - I (US citizen petitioner) need to submit civil documents like police record, birth certificate(i'm also foreign born) or are these documents only needed for the beneficiary? I don't live there so i cannot request these legal documents.

2 - As petitioner, do i need to submit anything other than financial document? marriage certificate, US passport, proof of living in the usa? 

3 - As a dual citizen - do i need to submit criminal report from my home country to the NVC or embassy? Or the police report is only needed(like other civil documents) for the petitioner? 

 

I live in the us, so i can't get these without being present in my home country but if they are required, how can my spose finish the interview process?

 

thank you if you can help.

sorry i cannot edit a mistake in my post. I meant to ask, if all these documents are only needed for beneficiary? i'm asking only because i am also citizen of that country but i live in the us so i cannot get some of them without being present there.

1. Civil documents such as the police report and birth certificate are for the foreign beneficiary. See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html for the official requirements.
2. As the USC petitioner, steps 4 & 5 apply to you. This includes the I-864, your proof of US citizenship and US domicile and marriage certificate.
3. If you or spouse were previously married then a original divorce decree or certified copy must also be uploaded which shows the dissolution of the previous marriage.

 

Good luck!
