Hello, a single DV22 winner here. my docs are passport + birth certificate.
But, I also have to send four police certificates. So I just wanna know best way to prepare them for sending them.
1-When preparing the pdf files, should I put all four countries in one file or should I have four different files with the countries' name tagged at the end of files' names? Can I do both, meaning just do four pdf files for each country AND also another with all four in one pdf file tagged with All4 at the end of its name. So five files in total named: CN_Firstname_Lastname_Police_Certificate_COUNTRY1, ..., _Country4 and CN_Firstname_Lastname_Police_Certificate_ALL4
2-One of the certificates is in German from a German-speaking country. Is this correct that if I'm interviewing at a German-speaking country I shouldn't translate it? Also, if just for further assurance I do translate it to English, is it ok if I just put it the page after the German certificate or should both of them be on the same page? So, in the former case, the CN_Firstname_Lastname_Police_Certificate_Germany would be a pdf file with two pages.
3-One of the certificates is in German but from a non-German speaking country which I haven't been to for many years. I also have an English certificate from the same country that I got in December 2020 (different embassy in another country). Is it fine to include both of them and again should they be on consecutive pages or do they have to be on the same page? P.S. The reciprocity page says the police certificates of that country are deemed unreliable and not required.
4-One of the certificates is from a Turkish-speaking country. I got a certificate produced in English and another in Turkish but then did certified translation on the Turkish one. Again, same thing.
5- Last certificate is a page in English from an English country. so all good.
My common sense says: put the bare minimum for one pdf file named _ALL4, as in just send the two German-language certificates and then the English ones (Turkish-speaking country and the English-speaking country) so just one pdf file with 4 pages named _ALL4. Then also send another four pdf files for each country named _COUNTRY but this time include everything I have for that country in its corresponding file.
I hope I've managed to explain well enough.
Thank you.
