Hey nela, I was wondering if your brother completed the DNA test and if he is in the US now. My husband has his interview this coming Monday, September 10th ----getting very nervous---we do not know what to expect----we think we have everything they can possibly ask for unless they ask for the DNA Paternity test for our two children. That can delay things a bit. Oh well...what are we supposed to do. I am just praying that things go smoothly :) I really hope your brother's process is now complete. Please let me know. Gjithe te mirat :)

Hey hun I'm sorry didn't check the forum in a while, so now we are in process of getting the result to embassy in TR I really hope goes fast. Make sure he gets photos when the kids were babiess ,it's very important to get as many as he have ,like you with kids him ect. We didnt know but when my brother went there they asked if he had pics with my mom so he didn't have them and they asked him they needed strong proof of relationship which was DNA test or pics ect. I really wish him best of luck. I hope they don't request DNA its just pain in the butt plus expensive $790 cost it for us ;(, please let me know Monday. Oh the consular didn't pay attention to i864 or i864a ,most important was the proof of relationship . Keep me posted,

Thank you so much for your reply and good wish. Yeahhhh....he is taking an album with like 100 pictures with him from the first time we met until the last time I was there last year with the kids. Also he is taking with him all the call records, and skype records and all letters and postcards I have sent him over the years...We are nervous, but hopefully everything will go smoothly....I will let you know tomorrow :) thanks again

My husband did not get the visa today. They needed a police certificate from Greece, which my husband did have, but it had to come directly from the Greek Embassy. They have not explained that anywhere. If we knew we had to apply at the Greek Embassy we could have done that in advance. Oh well, that will take about 2 weeks they said. Let's see what happens. We are very disappointed :(

Hello AlbF2A

I am sorry to hear that your husband didnt get his visa today, he will get it once he has the doc they require. I just had one question. What is this police certificate that they ask him for? Is your husband living in Greece? My husband has visited Greece 2 times since I filed the documents for him, do they need proof for that, I mean do they need to know where did he stay , the reason he went, etc?

Thank you and hope you will see him soon!

My husband worked in Greece for 5 years from 1998-2003, and basically they are asking for a proof that he did not commit any crimes while he was there. My husband had obtained the police certificate from Greece that shows that he did not commit any crimes, but apparently they wanted him to apply for that document at the Greek Embassy in Tirana and then the Greek Embassy will forward it to the US Embassy. Hopefully that will not take longer than 2 weeks---that's what they have said. Will see... :wacko: ----Anyway, if your husband has been in Greece or anywhere else for more than 6 months at a time, make sure to request this document in advance from the Greek Embassy. My husband said you just pay 20 euros and fill out an application and they take care of it. As far as I know, they do not ask for the place where your husband stayed or what he did. Hope this helps----Good luck to both of you :)

He does not have to go to Greece. He applied at the Greek Embassy in Tirana as soon as he was done with the interview and they said that is usually takes a couple of weeks. What can I say, once again we just have to wait and see....Yes please update me about your case. Ishallah nuk keni per te pritur edhe shume.

Hi and thank you for your wish.

Regarding your question, every consulate is different. My husband submitted the greek police certificate to the NVC with his DS-230 also, but they asked for it at the interview too. I do not know how the US consulate works in your country, but in my opinion better safe then sorry. If you can obtain another one close to your interview date just in case they ask for it would not be a bad idea. Good luck :)
