Police Background Checks, Birth Certificates, and Vaccinations

[2HeartsR1 1]

All glory be to our precious Lord....our NOA2 was mailed out on 8-27-12 from CSC. So I called NVC to check on my case number. The NVC representative told me that it takes 15 days for them to get that, and she told me that the police background check should be sent in with the visa application, the birth certificate, and other original documents such as the marriage license etc. Because it was my understanding that it expires in 90 days, I asked her what happens if the interview date is set for a date after the report expires. She stated that they send a notice with the packet to the embassy noting that the report was not expired when the application was submitted. Is this correct? I also asked her about what was acceptable as a birth certificate because my husband's birth certificate is hand written from the hospital he was born at. She stated to send a note with it explaining that he was born before 1979 which is when birth certificates began being recorded on computers in Nigeria. Does anyone have any information on this? And finally, can anyone tell me about when the vaccinations need to be done and how much they cost? Does this need to be done with the medical exam or at a specific location the embassy requires, or can we go ahead and do that now? Thanks in advance for any guidance on these matters.

Congratulations on your Approval

The vaccinations has to be done when doing the Medicals and yes the Embassy has Two specific locations to get that done.

You cant do the medicals now until you get an interview date

The medical costs N12000 an initial payment to be paid in Zenith Bank, then a balance of N9000 which will be paid at the clinic

As for the birth certificate, I dont really know, hopefully someone with such an experience will give you a better feedback

STOP: Do not have your spouse pick up a Police Certificate until you have your NVC Case number.

WHY? Because they expire within 3 months. This is the biggest mistake we see fellow filers make over and over again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if you haven’t reached the NVC stage, looking ahead at the current month NVC Forums will truly teach you this process fast. Look for your own country of filers and pay special attention to their questions and answers given them since your process will be the same. Remember though, there is a little difference between K1 filers and CR-1/IR-1 filers toward the end of the process. So also pay attention to that information also.

On Page 1 of every monthly NVC Forum, you will find a simple guideline for NVC with frequently asked questions and answers. Copy and paste that info to a Word document (or equivalent) and print it off so you can use it as a, kind of, checklist.

That is what I did and it helped tremendously!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now some simple pointers.

ON page one of the monthly NVC forum, you will also find an electronic format of the DS-3032 (This is the form where your spouse assigns an Agent...which will be you). Go ahead and plug in all of your information and save it on your system so it is ready to go when you have your NVC Case Number and Invoice Identification Number (IIN) assigned. Once you have the NVC Case number, you can plug it in, copy and paste it in an email to your spouse…they can clean it up and forward it only the NVC.

If you do not believe your spouse can handle this, start a new email address for them now and do this yourself. NVC will request an email address for both you and your spouse. Make sure your spouse has the user name and password so they can see the information you are getting from NVC and the information you are sending. Once the DS-3032 has been accepted, all of the future email will come to your email address.

Second, complete your Affidavit of Support. Run a Google check and see if you qualify to file an I-864EZ or if you will need the I-864. If you are not sure, ask the forum.

Third, if you have not done so, order your "TAX" transcripts from the IRS. Instructions to do this are on page one of the monthly forum as well . Make sure you do not order an "ACCOUNT" transcripts; this is not the correct form and the NVC will not take it. (I personally made this mistake but caught the discrepancy before time to send in my I-864, thanks to a friend guiding me through the process).

Forth, complete the DS-230 form. Double check the information on it. This documents information should CLOSELY or IDENTICALLY match the form 325A you completed on your spouse/fiancée during the initial phase of the process (I-129F or I-130). The same information is being asked but in a different format.

Fifth, print the completed DS-230. Scan it into a PDF format and attach it to an email to your spouse. Your spouse will then print the completed form on their end and SIGN THE DOCUMENT ON PAGE 2 WITH A BLUE INK PEN ONLY. DO NOT DATE THE FORM (you will date it before you forward the form in the IV package.)

NOTE: Complete the actual DS-3032 form as well and forward the same way as the DS-230 form above. Also, have your spouse sign in blue ink only and do not date. The NVC takes this form in electronic format but it’s a fairly new process so cover yourself just in case it is asked for.

Sixth, your spouse will be forwarding all of these forms to you when you send off the I-864. They will need to include the following in the package to you immediately so you will be ready to file the IV petition:

• Long form or Certified Birth Certificate (if they do not have this they need to be getting it now, it does not expire. It Just must be from National Population Commission of Nigeria

• DS-230 Form , signed on page 2 only, DO NOT DATE. (Page 4 is signed in front of the CO during interview and swearing in process.)

• DS-3032, signed in blue ink, not dated.

• Police Certificate (your spouse should obtain a PC as soon as you send off your AOS package…not before.

Lastly, if your spouse has ever lived in another "Country" they will need Police Certificates from every Country they have lived in.

Hope this helps. If you have other questions, let me know.

Wowww DANA well detailed

Wowww DANA well detailed

Thanks baby. I get asked this question a lot by inboxed messages. So one day while I wasn't that busy at work, I decided to try to type this out very simply and put it in a format people could use as a type of "cross off list document" of things to do and look for.

I've been using it for a week or so now and working on some more documents, but earlier things to do before going to Nigeria the first time. (Yep, getting lots of questions on Facebook too!) Nothing like talking about what a good man you've got for three years to bring a swarm of women looking for a good man themselves!

Thank you. Does the cost of the medical exam you mentioned also include the cost of the vaccinations?

Thank you for all of the great info and advise. I have just finished creating a word document with the info from the links posted here so I can work on everything and check it off as it is completed. I will be looking at it closer tonight. I have filled in the DS-3032 and have it waiting. Email address was created previously and is already and in use. I already know I can use the I-864EZ, and I am in the process of completing that. I am currently working on filling out and forwarding the DS-3032 and the DS-230 to my spouse.

Do you think it is better to use the IRS transcripts than to just send a photo copy of tax forms filed?

I am not sure what you mean by "Long form or Certified Birth Certificate (if they do not have this they need to be getting it now, it does not expire. It Just must be from National Population Commission of Nigeria" He was born prior to 1979 when birth certificates were registered via computer (per NVC rep), so can he even get a certified birth certificate? And what is a long form? Do you have any information regarding NVC's recommendation to note his was born before 1979 as an explanation for the hand written version (whether it is accurate information)?

Also, I am still learning to maneuver this website. Can you tell me how to add my time line to my posts?

Thank you once again.

Do you think it is better to use the IRS transcripts than to just send a photo copy of tax forms filed? Tax Transcripts. Because it has all the information and its verified proof you filed. NVC and CO's love it

I am not sure what you mean by "Long form or Certified Birth Certificate (if they do not have this they need to be getting it now, it does not expire.
