I called the NVC today and they said that it is a system generated email that they send. They had the record that they received my package last 2/13/15 and just ignore the email.

I sent the AOS and IV Package in one fedex envelope last 2/12/15 as instructed in the NVC website. I received an email that they received the package last 2/13/15. Today, 2/20/15, I received a checklist stating that they do not have the following:

FINANCIAL EVIDENCE (Affidavit of Support)

MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

PASSPORT

PHILIPPINE NBI CLEARANCE

All of this was on the package I sent them and these are the AOS and IV package. I don't know if this is just a false checklist but I am calling the NVC after work. Did anyone of you received this kind of checklist where they literally request all of the items you just sent?

Thanks to all you replies. I called the NVC last 2/5/15 and they agreed that we don't need to send it. I read the UAE reciprocity by country police certificate statement on the website and that one that I talked to agreed that it was not needed.

Initially, I thought that we do not need to submit the requirement because he is not currently residing in the UAE and the only way that a person can get it is to go to UAE in person and apply. I just want to check if anyone has experienced this and what they did. I do not want the consul to request it during the interview and we don't have it.

Hello Everyone,

We are currently collecting all supporting documents required for the AOS and IV Application. We have collected all required documents except for the UAE Police Clearance. My husband worked in UAE for 3 years from 2009 to 2012 and now living in the Philippines. He has a resident visa in the UAE when he was working there. This is what the NVC website states according to the reciprocity by country (http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country/AE.html):

Available, only if applicant is physically present in the UAE.

Police certificates may be obtained by any person, regardless of nationality, by personally appearing at the Central Police Headquarters located in the emirate of residence or former residence. When appearing to request a police certificate, the applicant should provide recent photographs, a letter from the requesting authority, the date of residence in the emirate, and their passport.

Not available by mail. Post recommends that consular officers waive the general requirement to obtain police certificates unless the applicant lives in the UAE.

My husband is not currently residing in UAE and they said you need to be physically present to get the police certificate. I've researched and it is not clear as to whether the consul will waive that requirement because he does not live in the UAE anymore or we have to provide the police certificate (which will take some time).

Please help if you have experienced this issue. We wanted to submit all the required documents to NVC and this one is confusing.

Thank you.
