Hello friends!

Our case is currently at the NVC stage with scan date August 17.

A week ago we realized that except from the criminal record from my birth country (sent to NVC) we needed to provide them with criminal record from the country (Netherlands) I did my master's degree? (lived there for 2 years)

Even though we have a lawyer he never told us about that. I discovered it online as I was preparing for a possible future RFE...

I contacted the department of justice in the Netherlands and they sent me my criminal record afterall. But what do I do with it now?? Do I send it to the NVC even though I received the letter saying that they are examining my case?? Or just wait for RFE??

Hi natife,

If I were you, I would wait. You're very close to getting a response (one week, probably) and there is a slight chance the NVC might oversee it - it actually happens a lot in the Brazilian embassy, where they're very strict with police reports.

What happens there is that people come to the interview with police reports missing or from incorrect sources (believing they're fine and that the NVC did all the checking), and then they get denied.

So, in case you're approved with the NVC, make sure to take your Dutch report to your interview.

If you send your report to the NVC now, it will reset your scan date and they have 30 days to review it. If you do get a checklist only for your police form, there is a chance they might approve earlier, I think.

Good luck (and keep us posted on how it went!)

Thank you so much for your detailed response :)

I am actually thinking the same way. If we have one chance to get approved right away why risk it and send additional paper that will make the case more complicated??

Our lawyer hasn't been helpful at all. You guys are so supportive and awesome❤️

Yeah, I have heard so many bad things about immigration lawyers that I think they're unnecessary unless you have a serious issue like an overstay or something.

I hope all goes well, please let me know!
