You mean to say US Embassy will obtain US Police Certificate or Sri Lanka Police Certificate or Both for you?

Hi madu,

I’m also from SL and currently live in the US and a winner of 2011 DV. I’m planing to get my GC through CP via US embassy in Colombo.
I have few questions on the required documents listed above.

1) What is English translation of No. 6?
2) What is English translation of No. 8?
3) What hospital did you get your Medicals done? And how long did it take to get your medical report back? If you are not yet vacinated for certain diseces do they give vaccination for you?
4) If the applicant has lived in any foreign countries for more than six months police clearance report from that country is required. However, according to the US embassy website “You do not need a police clearance from the U.S.” Is that correct?
5) Can you please explain how you provided G.C.E O/L & A/L certificate to the embassy. Its not very clear to me.
6) I have a degree from a US university. Will the degree and transcripts will do?
7) What Sponsor Letter are they reffering to?

Thanks for your help.
