Hi everyone!

Our case just got approved at USCIS so it will be forwarded to NVC soon. I'm trying to get everything ready in advance.

I reside in Singapore, but am not a citizen of Singapore. In my situation, it is stated on the Singapore police website, that I need to submit the following: "Documentary proof stating that a COC is required by the various foreign government authorities or institutions for specific overseas purposes (e.g. migration / adoption / employment / further education)".

I emailed the US Embassy here to ask if they can provide a letter and the answer that I received was the following:

"You may use the checklist provided by the National Visa Center to apply for a Certificate of Clearance from the Singapore Police Force. We do not provide request letters to applicants whose cases are still with the National Visa Center."

My question is: is there such a thing as a personalized checklist from NVC? When they receive my application, will they send me a letter or email where they list the required documents? So I can use it for the police. Or do I have to send a package without the police certificate and then wait for the response? I really would prefer not too, since it seems like it might delay the process...

Thanks in advance.

You can go to the SPF at Catonement in Outram. Fill up application form and appeal. I think you need to bring photos as well. You can use the DS-260 confirmation page for proof that it is needed for US immigration.

Thanks for a reply, The website states that they no longer take walk-ins and you have to apply online.

So DS-260 confirmation is enough? Is has the list of the required documents and my name on it? Sorry I'm not at this stage yet, so don't know.

Also, are you a Singapore citizen or a foreigner? I think they are a lot more strict to foreigners.

I got mine around May this year. They accepted the ds-260 confirmation page that shows your name and case number.

I just don't know about now -- maybe you can give them a call or give time to visit them to personally inquire.

I use the NVC welcome letter that has my case# listed on it. It's all done online now, except for sending in the hardcopy of the fingerprints impression, but if you currently reside in Singapore you have the option to book the fingerprint appointment at the COC office.

Thank you so much for your answers!

So I haven't received the NVC welcome letter or the DS-260 confirmation yet. But when I do I will make sure to use both for the appeal.

You can simply write for immigration purpose (type of visa) under the appeal.

I have used the NOA2 notification as an attachment. No more walk in allowed this days you have to go online to submit all requirements, in compressed files since they have specific size for it to upload. It will take 5-7days to approve your appeal and then you can proceed with filing the COC once approved. Once all documents are cleared in the COC application itself they will send you instruction on how you can schedule your fingerprinting and get your PC at at the same time. Very fast and efficient as usual :)

If you don't send a police certificate, yes the NVC sends you a checklist specifically asking for that item.
