My wife and I got married in the USA. I live in Canada and she lives in the USA. I received a NVC Welcome Letter (PAOSF) . She received a NVC Welcoem Letter (ACL). Both letters have the same case number and invoice number. She received am Affidavit of Support Form, which she paid.

Do I log in and complete the 6 steps ? Does she log in to complete the 6 steps. too? Or just one of us ?

It's asking us to do it on line but yet there is a cover sheet attached to submit via mail.

It says that my interview location is Montreal Canada. this is very far from where I'm - Vancouver. Can the interview office be changed on line or submitted in writing.

Should I go to the Police and ask for a Police Clearance Certificates ?

Thanks

~ Moved from Adjustment of Status from Family Based Visas to National Visa Center - topic is NVC processing for spousal visa, not AOS ~

Just as a note, you can send the IV and AOS packages after paying the AOS fee. Also yes, you should have went and gotten the police certificate by now.

No you cannot interview in Vancouver, they only do non-immigrant interviews. You MUST interview in Montréal. I had to travel there from central Alberta. However there is a panel physician in Surrey so that should lessen the time required to stay in Montréal significantly.

My wife submitted the DS-261 already (online Choice of Address and Agent)

I'm reading the steps and it says:

-submit DS-261 online

-pay AOS fee

-pay IV fee

-Submit DS-260 online

-Email AOS and IV packages

-Respond to any checklist, if necessary

-Wait for case complete

-Get General Interview

Thank you guys

Im saying you can send the AOS and IV packages before the IV fee is paid. It's okay. It shaves some time. Make aure to send them together and that no attachment is over 5mb. Also make sure nothing is password protected.

You can try your city police. No fingerprints are needed unless you've been convicted of a crime. Also you can try the commissionaires. Just make sure they do a CPIC name check. If you have no city police then the RCMP will do.

Got a simple looking yellow piece of paper that says Police Certificate for Visa Applications/Foreign travel and Foreign Work Permit. The search failed to produce anyrecords etc the match was based on name and BOD, No Fingerprints. I asked for CPIC couldn't get a definitive answer. Is this sufficient. ?

On the Document Check List, it asks for Military records, would that be Unavailable or Not Applicable ?

I was drafted by law when I was very young. Don;t have any docs or records.

What is Petitioner's Documents, Translations, Photocopies ?

Would that be Unavailable or Not Applicable ?
