-So we have asked the foreign ministry in Sri Lanka to contact Bahrain officials and get a response from them (any response really - yes, a police report can be somehow obtained or, no, there is no possibility) as that is one thing the US embassy is probably looking for -The destructive fire was due to riots that were taking place in 1983 in Sri Lanka. So we are getting a letter from a notarized justice of peace verifying my mother is one of the people who lost everything during the riots. -I am also looking into contacting the congressman in our area. -We are also trying to get some advice from an immigration lawyer either in the US or Sri Lanka. The lawyer's appointment is next week in the US. I'm just noting all this here for anyone who might face the same situation in the future. I will keep this thread updated on the progress.

What to do when we are unable to optain police report (from Bahrain)

Thanks.These are the directions she got from the embassy (and it's also found in the immigration department site) but as per this, she should have Bahrain ID and residence documents. She has nothing. It's been more than 40 years. She doesn't even have the old passport with the Bahrain visa.

Thank you so much for this response. We are pretty much clueless right now and this helps.

Hello, I'm sponsoring my parents for their green cards. They went to the interview at the US embassy in our home country (Sri Lanka) yesterday. Dad got approved but mom's has a request for a document. This is for a police report. She worked in Bahrain about 42 years ago for about 12 months. She doesn't have any documents related to that stay any more. No old passports, or any ID she might have had in Bahrain. It all got destroyed in a fire. When I tried to obtain a police report from Bahrain they informed me that they will not be able to do so without an ID she might have used there all those years ago. The person I chat with wasn't even sure if they had the same ID system all those years ago. So I mentioned this when submitting docs to NVC and we got DQ'd. We were able to get police report for other places she lived. At the embassy though they have sent her back with a request for a police report. She had tried to explain but they shut her down with 'Nope we need a report'. We don't even have a Bahrain embassy in Sri Lanka. What do we do in this situation? I'm sure people have gone through the same situation.

Hello, it took us 12 months for I-130 approval.

Hello, I am a US citizen applying for both my parent's green cards. We are at the NVC stage (the i-130s just got approved). I make enough to sponsor both my parents, so I will be filling out I-864. My question is is there any reason my husband needs to fill out I-864A? We live in the same household and my husband is very supportive and excited about my parents migration. But since I have enough income for i-864, do we have to worry about I-864A as well?
