Hello gurus, I have a question and I hope that someone will be able to help. I am trying to stay ahead by gathering the documents needed for the DS 230. In order for my father to get the police certificate, the instructions (specific for home consulate) say that some evidence/form from USCIS must be presented to the agency issuing the certificate. Does anyone know what that evidence might be? Will that be generated at the time that the DS 230 is actually generated or is there some other document from USCIS that he can use? I thought that he would have been able to just go in and request the certificate without presenting anything other than some form of ID.

I spoke with a supervisor at NVC (his parents live next to my best friend) yesterday about the issues with the DS3032 emails taking 14+ days and the problems of getting signed DS3032 from parents.
He told me that if you have emailed the DS3032 to NVC you can print out a copy of the email that was sent and mail that to NVC. You will need to write in large bold print on the top right of the printed email "PAPER COPY OF EMAIL SENT --/--/--" The officer said that in this format it would be acceptable because they will have the email with senders info on record once they input the original email into the system.
He also said on the issue of paying either the AOS or IV bill before you get the NVC generated email will delay your case because when the NVC issue the email notice if you have already paid the bill it will reset the payment status to "NOT PAID" this then means that NVC will have to investigate the payment history for your acount to comfirm the payment. they are trying to correct this bug in their software but it will take a few months to happen. SO DO NOT PAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU GET THE EMAIL FROM NVC TELLING YOU TO PAY.
Hope this helps

Thanks Raj, I got email very after I got ds3032 email I paid the fees and now waiting to get it Paid.
but as you said we need to send original document with DS230 right? but I am looking on Visa journey site here is the copy:
b. Send your IV Package (USPS Express mail gives tracking and essentially insures delivery)
Below are the package contents:
* BARCODED Cover Sheet (to be printed from web when your status is PAID online for IV bill)
* You OWN cover sheet listing what documents are in the package, so they're easy for the reviewer to locate
* Completed DS-230 part I & II and ONLY part I signed by beneficiary.
* Photocopy of the beneficiary's passport biographic data page.
* Original/certified copy of beneficiary’s birth certificate.
* Original/certified copy of beneficiary’s and petitioner’s marriage certificate.
* Original police certificates of the beneficiary.
* Original/certified copy of military record, if applicable.
* Original/certified copy of divorce decree, death certificate, etc. of previous marriage, if applicable.
Make 2 extra copies of this package. Send 1 copy to the beneficiary
Once everything has been sent in, it's time to wait.
it says original OR certified copy (we can say notarized copy right?) can we send certified copy or we have to have send original (I am little worried to send original in case if they lost it)
Please clear this confusion..
Thanks in advance and you and this site been really good help to me.

Daddy09,
My parents got Police Clearance certificate from India from the Passport Office without any issues. If you are from India..all they have to do is go to the local passport office and apply for PC by submitting a form along with fee and photographs and within a week or two they will mailed to the local home address. They need to submit proof of address ( passport, ration card, bank statements or any other form ).
Hope this helps.

Please go through this site for the requirements and it says Original or Certified so it is your decision but most of the people on VisaJourney sent original based on their postings and i am planning to send Originals and so far i did not read about losing documents by them. So it is your call. Yes, you can notarize (certified) them.

Raj, AFAIK, Notarized is NOT the same as certified. You can have a copy of an original document notarized by ANY notary. However, certified copies are copies of the original that are issued by the SAME authority who issued the original.

That make sense, so long story short we need to send original. Thanks for making this point clear. Thanks all.

can anyone help me to get format of employment letter for I864? My manager is asking me to write it down so she can copy on company's letter head.
and also I am confused about this question:
I am sponsoring the following family members immigrating at the same time or within six months of the principalimmigrant named in Part 2 above. Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition.
(DO I have to count my MOM if I am filling I864 for my dad or vice versa?) if YES then total household would be 4 with mywife and parents and me right?
please

Originals or Certified Copies
All,
In my case all the original documents such as birth certificate, marriage certificate, PC are with my spouse in India. Would it be safe to fedex them to US? Just wondering how did you guys manage to bring to USA all such last minute documents like PC
Thanks

NSVR,
Yes, Fedex overnight, or ever 2-3 day service is adequate. I had my dad send me his civil docs (original) to me via Fedex. Although, I didn't have him send me the "original" originals. I had him go to all the issuing authorities and obtain a second original set and send me.

My Dad mailed (from INDIA ) via FEDEX all Originals to me and i received them in 3 - 4 days and without any issues.

Mine says that as of Oct 09. It took about 5 days since they received the package.

I just did. That's helpful.
The other info that I got from VJ is that you are a girl. All these times I thought you were a guy. And if you look anything like the girl in your avatar, I want to marry you!!
