Now there's a new barrier for new immigrants: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...ially-burden-united-states-healthcare-system/

Visa applicants will have to prove to consular officials that they will be covered by approved health insurance within 30 days of entry into the US or possess the financial means to "pay for reasonably foreseeable medical costs."

Blocked!

A federal judge in Oregon on Saturday temporarily blocked a Trump administration proclamation that would have required prospective immigrants to prove they would have U.S. health insurance within 30 days of their arrival or enough money to pay for “reasonably foreseeable medical costs.”

Does anyone know, how to renew the existing Police Clearance by giving the reference number of a previous report?
Where can I find the reference number in the clearance report? Please provide me an example....

I didn't renew it and hopefully won't need to.

The reference number is something like Cxxxxxxx/2019. That's found right underneath the name and the designation of the person who has signed the PC.

Thanks. Unfortunately it says "No certificate was issued for this application reference number during the past 12 months". I tried to put '-' instead of '/'. But failed.......
It seems, I will have to follow manual steps

Have you tried with "My No" (Top Right Corner) e.g xxxx/2019/N . This the reference number I used when I was inquiring about status of my police certificate from both online and their help desk.

Hi Aj, welcome to the forum :)

Yes, the birth certificate needs to be translated by a sworn translator. They usually have a statement in their document template saying they are competent. Some have it on their seal.

Foreign ministry does not certify the accuracy of the translation. I went to foreign ministry for document attestation and then only got to know that they no longer chop a seal on our documents. They scan our documents and store them in their online document attestation system for one year. Embassies have access to that system. I don't think KCC would be logging into it. So no point in getting documents attested by FM before sending them to KCC. The reciprocity page for Sri Lanka also hasn't instructed applicants to do so.

If you are older than 16 1/2 you must have been more than 6 months since age 16 in some country... or are you saying you stayed in many countries for only a few months each?!

You actually meant, you haven’t been anywhere other than your home country for 6 months.

(This is the case for the vast majority of DV applicants of course.) So then obviously you just need a police certificate from your home country. Normal application.
 
Hi Friends ...
Only the main applicant should obtain a Police Certificate? (When there is only wife and husband)

Everyone who wants a visa needs to present police certificate and other civil documents. The only documents that are only for the main applicant are the ones that prove DV eligibility (= education); the other documents are required of all immigrant visa applicants.
