My wife just called NVC today and we were told that additional documents are needed from us. The lists of the additional documents are: police clearance certificate from my country, my wife affidavit of support must be corrected and my police clearance certificate from Greece where I seek asylum before.

My only challenges with all their requests is Greek police clearance,  I only lived there as asylum seeker and I was later sent back to my country from Germany because I entered there illegally. We were told by the NVC that Greek police clearance must be send to American embassy in my country. I seriously need advise how to go about the Greek police clearance certificate because I am not living there again since 2012, and I can't travel there now because of police clearance. I want to know if there will other alternative of getting the police clearance from Greece. I need people to put us through.

HI, I found the information for you.  I have some experience with finding out how to get police certificates as I had to get 3 different ones!  (not from greece, but it just means i knew where to look for info). There seems to be a couple of things mentioned on the greek page about whether you're greek or not, so read through it thoroughly, and if you're unsure then contact the greek consulate in your country.

And here's the link to read all the information.  Partway down the page is a place to type your country .. in this case you will type "greece" and it will take you to a page where you click police certificates.
https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Supporting_documents.html

good luck!  If you're unable to obtain one due to your asylum status perhaps the greek embassy can provide something to give to NVC on official documentation? (make sure to only send a copy if they do, and keep the original for the interview)

I really appreciate your contribution towards my case. I will follow the instructions as you said. I contacted Greek embassy in my country already, and I was told that they forwarded my request to the consular, I'm only waiting for their reply. I also spoke with the greek embassy customer service today, the woman just said that it will be difficult because I was only in Greece with aliens asylum card which is not a residence permit, but my request has been sent to the consular. I just hope to hear goodnews. Thank you very much for support and concerns.

Hello Thesmiths2016,

 

Thank you once again for your support.

I contacted the Greek consulate in my country, but I was told that they didn't render such a service to foreign national. I was told to contacted my embassy in Greece to render my request for the police clearance for me. I later contacted my pastor in Greece who went to gather information on my behalf through lawyer which requested for 300euros to get the police clearance for me, I sent him 200euros already but still waiting for him to meet the lawyer within next two days. I will be going to get my country police clearance tomorrow. 

I just pray that I scale through this process. 

Please I want you to also explain to me about financial evidence. I believe my wife should be the one providing that.
