Thanks alot for both of you kayend and britsimon...
This is also clearly stated in the website of the dvlotter.. But my question is can this be overcome because its difficult to get the record from this country unless in person being there... Do u know a successful previous experience that got visas with one police record not ready because of difficulty in getting it???, the country is dominican republic
Ok - you might be able to take a different approach. When I first read your comment that the police report was only available in person I assumed (mistakenly) that you had not read or misunderstood the reciprocity page on that country. However, you read it right. The USCIS page says the DR will only give a visa in person, so yes it is a problem.
So - you could do a couple of things. You might be able to get an agent in the DR to do that for you. I've had some dealings in the DR and that is a "normal" thing. If you don't know someone there you could hire a lawyer/professional agent to do that for you.
You might also be able to do something through the attorney general of the DR. The links below show a couple of pages that provide information about the police report itself (it is called a "Certificado de No Antecendentes Judiciales") and then the attorney general. You could email or call the attorney general in the first place and see what they say. I assume your wife is fluent in Spanish, and it is about her so she should call or email.
OK - so about the police report:-

And for the Attorney General:-

However, if none of that works, my other suggestion is contrary to the correct advice you have already been given.
Assuming your CN is fairly low you could go to the interview without the police record for your wife. You would print out the reciprocity page for the DR and explain that you haven't been able to take the trip to get that record. Frankly, expecting you to get on a plane for that police record seems "unreasonable" - and you could see whether the CO agrees. Chances are they won't have come across this situation before and they may not have a policy. In that case they would place you on AP to either check the police records themselves, or perhaps make a decision to "forgive" the requirement in this case OR they might give you time to obtain the police report. In a sense, you wouldn't lose anything (except time). There is a risk that they think you are hiding something but given that the reciprocity page is so clear, it should be understandable. Since your wife was there for education, take evidence about her education there and if you can obtain it, get supporting evidence from the school such as letter of good conduct etc. You should also take proof of your efforts to resolve this with the attorney General showing that you have tried to do all you reasonably could.
DO NOT take this second approach if you have a high case number. You don't want to be dealing with this in August or September of next year.
After all that, you might still need to get on a plane to the DR, but I actually doubt they would expect anyone to do that. The trick is to make sure that the case gets referred upwards rather than just rejected.
By the way, you might be able to check with the embassy about this, but I don't think they would give clear answers.... If you ask KCC they will almost certainly say it is up to the embassy - so don't even waste your time.
Hope that helps.
***UPDATE***
I've just seen your number is 2014AS00011*** that is a bit worrying if you take my second approach. In reality we don't know what will happen this year and I personally don't think your number is VERY high, but it is likely that you won't get an interview until fairly late in the process - perhaps as late as July/August. In that case I am not comfortable in telling you to take the option to turn up without the police report for your wife. So - make all the effort you can to obtain that report through the attorney general. Be persistent with them - including checking with them whether an agent could do this on your behalf and ask them who they would suggest you use an agent. The economy in DR runs on people knowing people and a few bucks changing hands to "oil the machinery". So - someone you speak to may be very happy to recommend someone they know to be your agent if there is nothing else they can do. Another idea would be to approach your home country embassy in the DR to see what they can suggest. Keep records on all the work you do toward this. If you have to turn up at the interview without the police report you really want to have a mountain of paperwork showing you have tried to obtain it in good faith.
Feel free to PM me if you need further help and please keep us updated here (on a new thread) in case anyone else has a similar problem. I speak Spanish and have friends in DR so maybe I can do something, but I'm sure your wife also is fluent and knows people there, so she should exploit those contacts also!
