DS-230....confused.

[futballdad 0]

Hello...

I had just received DS-230 and included in the envelope is a copy of "how to obtain a police certificate from the Malaysian Internal Affairs Ministry". My guess is, this is intended for my Malaysian spouse. My question is, do I need to mail this certificate along with the DS-230. Contrary to the embassy website, police report is only required during the interview.

Thanks in advance...futballdad

According to the Department of State web site, the choice of agent only needs to send to the NVC a copy of passport's biographic data page along with the DS-230. The police certificate will be needed at the time of interview. Please check out the link below and choose your embassy to make sure and also follow with a phone call to the NVC just to have your bases covered. It may be that they changed the process for your embassy but they haven't updated their web site to reflect the changes.

Thanks...

The same thought crossed my mind that there may have been a policy change at the embassy. I was hoping to get a response from another Malaysian who is waiting for CR1 or IR1 visa or had recenty interviewed for one. Nevertheless, I will call NVC first thing Tuesday morning to cover my bases.

Thanks again.

I think it depends on the policy of the embassy. Our lawyer just asked for my BC, MC, scan biographical part of my passport and my police certificate. The NVC asked for it.

We got mutiple copies of the police report and included it in everything.
