Hey, good luck everyone on your September 20th interivews.....since I am getting conflicting reports on what all I will (Indian fiance) need to collect for my interview, for which i want to start preparing now, due to time issues later, could you please tell me what all you have been requested to furnish.

One imprtoiant question: Do they need police certificates for every place I have stayed in, past 5 years, or will just my current (also permanent) residence do? This is important for me since I would need to visit a couple of cities to get this done and I dont really have time.

2. I have also renewed my passport and I read somewhere that someone whose passport has been renewed 6 months before the interview does not need a police certificate. Is this true?

Timesnap -- I used regular mail. used to reach there in 7 days. but since you have less days left... you mite wanna use fedex or DHL.

Delhiguy ---We had the similar issue. my fiance's passport was issued in mangalore. and after graduating he came back home... and then we thought he would have to go mangalore to get his passport clearance done. but what he did was he changed his address on the passport ... and then got the clearance done from chandigarh itself. (what a relief it was) !!!

Now, I would like to understand your situation... from what I read, I think you got a new passport? if im wrong please correct me.. so i can answer your question.

Hi Shalz,

Let me explain the situation here.

I have moved around a bit in the last 5 years. However, my permanent address (an Indian concept) and hence the address on my old and new passport are the same for the past 12 years. It is the same address that I am living at for the past one year, in Delhi. (Family-owned residence)

I have just renewed my passport since it had expired, so yes, it is a new passport.

My question is, would I need police certificates even though i have just renewed my passport, which by inference means that the police have already verified my address?

Secondly, if I do need police certificates (local one would not be an issue), would I need them for all my addresses in the past 5 years? The only way that can be seen is by my employment history which shows my moving.

Shalz, congrats again on the visa. I know my questions might seem not so urgent to you since we are only now filing for the I-129, but I am trying to get all my papers together, and will need to plan out everything if I need to go to other cities. I would like to get all my papers together before time, and fingers crossed, going through the Vermont Service center, could, with a miracle, have us looking at an interview in the nest 2-3 months.

If possible, please post a list of all documents required by the embassy here.

And do stay in touch please, would love any kind of help through the process.

Thanks in advance.

Delhiguy,

If your passport was issued within the last 6 months you should only need the report from the passport office. I am not sure what you mean by renewed; if just the expiry date was extended on a previously issued passport then you may need reports from the police dept as well.

2. I have also renewed my passport and I read somewhere that someone whose passport has been renewed 6 months before the interview does not need a police certificate. Is this true?

Delhiguy -- I agree with calOC -- I have also heard that you don't need a police certificate of your passport has been issued in the past 6 months (of the interview date). A report from the passport office is all you need.
