IV package question

6 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just got my I-130 approved and am trying to figure out all the stuff I need from my husband for the packages.

IV package wiki guide says that I need to include the police certificate in there as well along with original o certified copy of my husband's birth certificate. I thought the police certificate was needed for the interview? Also will the original birth certificate be required at the interview?

I'm trying to figure out which documents I would need to send back to my husband for his interview.

Thanks for all the help.

You will need following items and documents for IV Package:

Two (2) passport size photographs (2" by 2") of beneficiary (case number, beneficiary's full name, and date of birth written on back of both);

Photocopy of the biographic data page of beneficiary's passport;

Original birth certificate of beneficiary's and a photocopy;

Original Urdu Nikah Nama and a photocopy;

Original English translation of Urdu Nikah Nama and a photocopy;

Original NADRA marriage certificate and a photocopy; and

Original Police Clearance Certificate and a photocopy.

Since Pakistan is NOT eligible for electronic processing, you will have to mail in the documents to NVC once the IV fee will be paid. Once you get case complete at NVC, your originals will be forwaded to Islamabad embassy for interview and your spouse will receive originals after interview.

He will definitely be given those documents back at the interview, right? I just don't want to have to deal with losing any of the originals.

That's what I have heard from other individuals but again NVC has their hand fulls due to high volume of approved petitions going there for processing so it's a risk sending in originals but then I have seen people sending certified copies of those documents and getting checklisted for not sending originals. So, I sent all originals to NVC and hoping that my wife will get them at her interview.

You can double check about receiving back the originals from people who already had already gone through interview process.

Good luck!

Do keep us updated as your interview will probably be before ours.

Thanks again for your help.
