My finacee already has her police certificates. They were issued by both the Federal and SECRETARIA DE SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA. They both told her that she had to go to the Cartório and have them stamp it.

She says that the certificates are official and not xeroxed. Why would she have to go to the Cartório? I am VERY nervous because the instructions specifically state "The certificates issued by “Cartório” or “Fórum” are NOT, repeat, NOT acceptable, in any circumstances".

She *just* recieved Package 4 today and our interview is on the 27th. I doubt there is time to have the certificates re-issued if they gave us the wrong ones...

Anybody have any knowledge on this????

Thanks!

Eric

Hi Eric, we are holding our breath waiting to hear the play-by-play of how the interview went. I hope those police certs didn't give you any trouble. We look forward to your most helpful response. Charles

June 8 they revieved it

June 18 '07 check cashed got WAC#

No NOA1, touches, or progress given

NOA2 approved Oct 17

NOA2 card copy in mail Oct 20 (Surprise to us)

Package sent from USCIS to NVC Nov 7. (called USCIS to get this)

Nov 15, I got email at 6:57pm that our package was sent to Rio from NVC.

DON"T WAIT FOR THEM TO SEND ANYTHING, CALL AND MAKE SURE THEY GOT IT.

IF THEY DO, GO AHEAD AND SEND IN ds230,ds2001, the pics, and copy of passport

USE SEDEX AND GET THE TRACKING NUMBER.

Interview Set: Jan 29. Found this out on the embassy website under VISA's. It shows a list of visa types including K1 and shows the interview dates.

Visa granted but they mailed it using their own package delivery service. Took a week. Have money when you go to the appointment. They may also make you go and get more photos taken if they dont like the pics you bring. Just relax and dress wark because they keep the place really cold. Make sure your financials mmet the criteria or they will eat you alive.

MARRIED March 22. Sent in $1,010 in fees to Chicago to get change of status, apply for advanced parole, and ability to work documentation. Things work faster now.

May 22'08: Biometrics appointment in Santa Barbara.

The CO barely looked at my husband's police certificates - and I do not think that they were stamped by the cartorio. I remember my husband saying that all he did was go to the policia federal and civil - maybe paid a few reais and that was it.

Hi, What i heard here in the state police in Brasil is that sometimes you have to go to the Cartorio and register the signature of the police office that sign that certificate police. I am from the State of Sao Paulo in Brasil. I alredy did from the State police, but i still need to do it on the federal Police. If you please could tell how it was pass out with you. thanks
