Thanks Simon for doing this, really appreciate it. Help me relax, lol. Vladek, what's the quota for AS? I 've seen reference for 9.4k previously? What do you think about the quota for AS for 2014 and 2015? Thanks

Cewalzer, do you have further info? Is it 6 months regardless of what it says on the cert in Venezuela?

I certainly would not like AP, hence encouraging everyone to look for answers from CG or Embassy, be it written, email or over the phone.Your CG may have different doc than CG in Hong Kong, find out more just to be safe like Susie said. Like my original post #678 states "In that case, it's...

Agreed, even better if you can get something in writing. I was referring to CG in Hong Kong specifically. Did they say they will accept any cert less than 6 months or cert without expiry date less than 6 months?(e.g. Cert says 12 months but they will accept 6 months from issue or cert says 3...

I am pointing out the fact that some police certs do not have an expiry date on them(as stated by the issuing authority). In that case, CG or Embassy may interpret the validity themselves. As such, I am providing a document which states the max is 12 months old: "Non-US police cert for your...

I have 2 questions: 1) How similar do you think 2015 is compared to 2014 in terms of Asia CN progression? (Other than the obvious we will have a better idea by the advance VB in mid Aug?) 2) What would be your current prediction of interview date for AS10XXX (mid 10000) ?

To add to Susie's point about country specific, some country never have an expiration date on the police cert. In that case, it's depending on the GC or Embassy. You will find some indication if you go through documents in CG or Embassy website. For example, in the GC Hong Kong website regarding...

@ Britsimon, am trying to relax.......but it's will be a long year. Thanks for your help. @ Melissa Lam, at least you live in HK so going to the police HQ is not so bad. I would order the police cert with your selection letter if I were you. $30 (205 HKD) is a small price to pay just in case...

Thanks for letting me know daham. Still undecided about interview location at the moment.

Hi Daham, I'm wondering if you were able to obtain the HK police certificate successfully? If so, which doc (ie selection letter+checklist?) did you provide? Please let me know. FYI I have been emailing the HK police, and so far no response. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply daham. Which documents exactly did you produce to the HK police to get the cert? On the HK police website, they require a letter from the immigration authority with you name and stating the need for the police cert. I guess the selection letter or 2nl did not state the...

Thanks Sm1smom! I found a sample appointment letter - see attached At the very bottom, there is a checklist that states what document the applicant is missing. >> so this would be sufficient to submit to HK police. For the 2015 winners, I wonder if it will be the same or different appointment...

Yes, it's next year.. but No >> copied from the HK CG website "Please note that failure to apply for a police certificate at least 6 weeks before the scheduled interview date may result in a delay with processing the visa application." I know my CN isn't bad, but interview is quite late in the...

I am a 2015 DV winner, from Hong Kong. Wondering how you obtained the police certificate from the Hong Kong police? specifically, "A photocopy of a letter from the relevant Consulate / Immigration Authority / Government Authority, which contains his or her name and clearly indicates that the...

Thank you Britsimon and Sm1smom. Britsimon >> i am a 2015 selectee, program starts Oct 2014. Based on how the CN cut off movement for asia in 2014, I am guessing my interview is in July/Aug of 2015. So if anything, I'm a bit early. Sm1smom >> good suggestion. But 2015 is the first year...

I am preparing for my civil documents, one of which is the police certificate from the Hong Kong police. As per HK police, I need 'the original and a photocopy (for each applicant) of the letter from NVC which contains his/her name and the checklist of documents necessary for obtaining a visa...
