fyi, i asked the brussels embassy if apostilles are required for original dox and they replied : "Please bring originals AND regular copies of all supporting documents. Apostilles are not required."

Ok, cheers, Pelle, appreciate yr reply, conflicting info on apostilles for original docs, some say yes, some say no :-) Looks like not necessary indeed

Hey Pelle Just wondering : can you confirm if you asked for the police record with or without apostille ? I was told on the forum an 'apostille' was not really required for a translation but just wondering about the original police record. Thx in advance for letting me know yr experience. Grtz

Oops, silly me, I meant police record, not sure why I suddenly mixed up with the expression 'criminal record'... Not sure if it's a Belgian thing or just me but I never use 'police record', I always use 'blank/empty criminal record'. Actually, I think it is Belgian, we always say 'blanco...

so sorry if this info has been posted elsewhere already but quick question : as i lived there for over 12 months, i need a criminal record from czech republic. i already got it from their consulate in my home country where i live now but... that record was issued in august last year (2014). so...

Thanks a million for yr advice again, 'mom'. Ps : I knew they can be very Christian in the US but I reckoned they wouldn't be needing an 'apostle' indeed :P

Cool, cheers for that. So a simple translation from an official translator suffices ? Don't need to be with apostille and so, right ?

Hi 'mom' :-) Quick question... Reading sometimes conflicting info so just wondering re translations. I have a Masters in Translation (granted, graduated 20 years ago but still) so just wondering : can I actually translate my own documents (need my high school diploma + blank criminal record...

Thx, Britsimon. But nope, no possibility to add a note. I think I'll either answer 'no' (no previous employers), assuming they're only referring to the last 10 years (which they do when you say 'yes'), or maybe my prev employer before I started my current job 15 years ago...

so sorry, folks, stumbled upon a sort of catch-22... the 'previous employment' section... i've been working for the same company for 15 years. i did have other employers, but that's over 15 years ago. so i can't really answer 'no' to the question if i was previously employed. but when i click...

Cheers, Britsimon, your feedback and advice are much appreciated ! Passport expired yesterday so submitting with 'other travel documentation' and will unlock form later to add passport details :-) Just outta curiosity : there's a part where you need to fill in the name + address of where you...

Thx, Sm1smom, appreciate the quick revert and advice ! One more question : submitting my DS-260 now. If we manage to get married in the next few weeks and I ask to unlock the form afterwards, will that sort of 'set me back' ? I mean, as in : will they start reprocessing my entry all over again...

Ay ay, Sir ! This weekend, without fail ! :-) Now since this turns out to be such a great forum with top notch info, mind if I pop another question ? Actually thinking of getting married with my gf. Thing is, as I said : CN is EU29xxx, submitting DS-260 this wknd. Will it be frowned upon (or...

Hi folks My CN is EU29xxx... Don't ask why, lots happening, but I still didn't get round to submitting my DS-260. I will submit it now. To the best of yr opinion, do I actually still stand a chance ? Cheers !
