Hi mks11
Congrats on winning the lottery!

My CN is 2011AS00014*** which is not yet current.
I have studied and currently working in India. I have chosen Kathmandu for my Interview in the forms.
I am very confused about the police certificate to be produced during interview. Do i need to produce police certificate for where ever i stayed after 16 year( 3 different place in india)? or do i need to get the police certificate from police headquarter, kathmandu only?

You MUST obtain the police clearance certificate from India. Look at this info:

Police Records

Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:

All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police certificates from the local Passport Office.
Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record.
Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the District Police Station serving their area of residence.
Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying outside India.

You also need to get police certificate from Kathmandu.

Do my wife(married 2 years back in india) also need to produce police certificate from India or from Nepal only?

Your wife as well MUST obtain police clearance certificate from India if she is a residing in India. She also need it from Kathmandu.


Hope this will help you.
All the best!

Thanks a lot dvnp,

I will get this police certificate from Kathmandu as well.

Regarding PC from India, I am having a police certificate for duration of 2005 to 2009. this i needed to prepare when i went to spain in 2009. I will produce this(PC for 2005-2009) in Interview. In India its very difficult to get this police certificate for any foreign national takes around 2-3 month here :( .

I still have some doubt, will this police certificate(2005-2009) be enough for me OR do i need to get police certificate for a period of 1996(my 16th year) to 2005 also and again for 2009 to 2010?

Hi mks11,
To my understanding, I believe that your police clearance certificate must not be older than a year (I did inquired on this with Kathmandu embassy). If you still residing in India, you MUST have a current PCC. If you have anyone in Kathmandu, I suggest you to ask them and visit the embassy during Wednesday and Fridays, 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. This session is open to public and it is free. Have a look on this website http://nepal.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas.html
Therefore, it is best idea to ask them directly all your issues without prolonging any further.
All the best!

Since I am in H1b I have applied the EAD card for OPT after my school. Is this question asking me abt my EAD of OPT or EAD for Green card...Can anyone please help who have filled up this form.
Thanks in advance
Rhhc
 
Anybody who has had an interview at the Kathmandu embassy, can you please share whether they asked you for proof of financial support? The checklist above doesn't mention it and I am frankly a bit surprised.

Also, how long does it take to get the police report in Kathmandu? And how long to get the police report and the birth certificate translated to English? I will have to travel to Kathmandu from the US (I am a student here) and would like to plan my trip based on the time it takes for these preparations.

Thanks and good luck to everyone!
 
Hi,

I am from Nepal and currently in US in working visa. My case number will probably become current in May. I have few questions so that I could arrange my travel plan accordingly-

1) When I entered US a couple of years ago, I used the regular passport NOT the machine readable passport (MRP). Can I still use my old passport or I need to get a new MRP for the visa interview?

2) How long does it take for the complete medical check up process (including getting an appointment and physical check up)?

3) If visa interview is successful, how many days in general does it take to get the passport with visa stamp?

Thanks a lot in advance for your reply.
 
Namastee Everyone,

For the medical, I did it almost a month ago because I had enough time there to spent. But it can be done a week before your actual medical. Remember to call them and make the appointment. You can call them from US if you do not have much time. And once you are there, just visit them. That's it!

Police report as well will not take that long, max of 3-4 days.

Interview experience:
We queued for interview and went through security check. Again waited in another room to pay DV fees. Once we paid our fees ($819 per person non-refundable), we were asked to wait until they call our name. After a while a Nepali bro call us to check all the documents. If you are married make sure to bring some pics of your wedding ceremony. Also, bring 3 pcs of passport picture, educational certificate and financial support paper. Once we are done with presenting our documents, we were asked to sit down and wait.

After 15 mins, another lady a US citizen called us to do the finger printing and then again asked to wait.

Now we are waiting for final call for our real interview. After 30 mins of waiting we were called. During the interview, lady asked me how I met my wife, when we got married, which date and so on.
Since I was living in Canada as a student asked me how long and what I'm doing in Canada?
Have I been to US and for how long?
Who is our sponsor and what does he do? Which company and so on.
She didn't asked any financial supporting documents. But I suggest you to prepare it as we never know what will they ask.

It was like 5 mins and its done. Asked us to come in 10 days to collect our passport (gave us a small not with date and time of passport collection).
That's it! were were done.

Please do not lie and make sure you get all your documents. Everything should be good.
Good luck everyone!
 
Anybody knows the average no. of days DV winners have to wait to collect their passport after a successful interview? dvnp has reported 10 days above, which makes me wonder what takes them so long...
 
Hi dvnp,

Thanks a lot for ur responses. it was very helpful.

My Interview was in Feb in India as currently i am in India. Interview was very smooth and she was very nice and friendly.
In Interview she asked to submit police report from my current place also and also to get few documents from my sponsor in US.
It took 2-3 weeks to get these docs. And finally me and my wife got the VISA on 31st March :)
