ANOTHER POLICE CERTIFICATE QUESTION

[slim 1,514]

$525..... How many Loonies is that?

From what I've heard, Canada is a great place for steak and BJs, eh?

from what i can see in your photo you might want to cut steak from you diet! and as for BJ's you look like you could serve up a nice one.

We used a law firm in Moscow to get our police certificate cost 500$ + 25$ for an English translation

they do 98% of the work for her,

$#!T, for $525 they better do 100% of the work and throw in a free steak and BJ. Since they're in Russia, they probably should throw in 2 free steaks and BJs. Actually, if we did the math on this one, they could throw in about 12 steaks and BJs and still have money left over from that $500. My goodness. Highway robbery!

Well I am bit torn here and will call the embassy to get a final answer. She went to the Rostov Information Center for IA and requested a certificate. My sweetie claims it covers all of Russia, but I just want to make sure....

$525 although is expensive it might be our only option. She would need to get on a train or plane, travel to Moscow which quite a distance away just to request the certificate. At least here she just needs to get the POA and submit the documents through mail.....

My ears perked up at 'Rostov'. That's about 5 hours from Natasha's city of Volgodonsk!

The lawyer is very good and honest all she has to do is scan her internal passport and sign a power of attorney thats the 2% of the work. It saved us a lot of headaches. but yes expensive!

Any particular reason the Russian Consulate in Toronto couldn't this for you. See instructions below:

They claim to do it for just 100 Canadian dollars. Still a better deal than $525 unless you are talking more than 5 reports or unreasonably delay.

Yes she inquired about it and they told her it could take anywhere from 4 to 6 months to get it. we are dealing with the Montreal consulate for our case and there interview wait times were from 4 to 6 months for an interview. So we would have got it from the Russian consulate in advance but we were worried that it would expire by the time we got our interview and we would be SOL! In any way they were not very helpful to her when she went to the consulate to get permission for her son, and charged her a crazy amount to fix her internal passport. Yes we investigated the consulate TRUST ME! but this lawyer was the best option for our case and it is why i suggested him to the OP because it seemed his case was more complicated. just trying to help like the rest of you are thats it.

Oh snap!

I would reply, but I want to save you the $40 it would take for you to pay your lawyer to reply to my post.

So, is there an Information Center for Internal Affairs or something like that in all major cities where the police certificate can be obtained? Tomsk is too far from Moscow, and I believe that someone said it's not necessary to go to Moscow. If there isn't a place in her city, can she request one from Moscow by post or by fax? Thanks in advance!

She cannot get it from Moscow, iirc. She has to get it from the city she lived in.

I'm from Tomsk , so I can tell you for sure that you can obtain the police certificate right there in Tomsk , that is. Darn, I can't remember the address of that place right out of hand (it's been more than three years since I got mine), but it's in the vicinity of the railway station (looks like a police station of sort, but I can't recall its name now) - it took me about a week to get one.

[the_patient_one 1]

P.S. I actually found some info in my old notebook - not much, but still something. Here's the phone number in Tomsk, maybe you can try calling it - 54-11-50 (that's the number I was given by those people to call and inquire about my "case" if I didn't hear from them within a week or so, usually they'd call you and tell you when to come and pick up your police certificate, but sometimes you just have to call them yourself), there's also some sort of "name" next to this number - "Ревизионный Отдел". Hopefully it'll be of some use.

Excellent! Thank you very much! I've passed this information on to Tania.

If you did not specify on original application submitted to USCIS that your fiancée lived in 2 different cities, then don't worry about it since US Consulate will request Police Certificate from the places she lived based on the information provided by you and by your fiancé on application and Biographical.

Good Luck!!!

Both places were listed......

any idea on the easiest way for her to get this Moscow certificate other than paying the $500 smackers?
