You need to come to the interview with original of ur police clearance certificate. And every other original documents submitted to NVC.

In the instruction package for K-1 applicants it says "You should NOT schedule the interview appointment until you have received an instruction letter from the U.S. Consulate and have submitted the confirmation page of the DS-160, visa photos, and a copy of passport for each applicant to our office at the above address. Failure to do so may delay your visa processing."

 

Does anyone know how long we must wait for this letter. We are in Ho Chi Minh City and we've submitted information they asked for.

 

Thank you

Base on my experienced during my interview I just have my original NBI copy with me and of course the list of all requirements needed. They didn't ask for a police clearance but however  just to make sure just bring your police clearance too.

Best answer;  Follow the embassy instructions letter.

 

Your profile does not state what visa you are chasing but the fact that you never worked or lived aboard answers your own question.

 

No you do not need a foreign police clearance if you have never lived in a foreign country. (and for sure DO NOT need a local police clearance)

 

"POLICE REPORT (NBI Clearance). Applicants aged 16 years and older must have a valid Record Clearance
(for travel abroad purposes) from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Clearances should be in the
applicant’s current name, birth certificate name, maiden name and any aliases or nicknames used, including
different spellings you have used of those names. An official letter of explanation from the NBI is required for
any notation of “No criminal record” or "No pending case”. For immigration purposes, an NBI clearance is valid
for one (1) year after its issuance date. NBI’s website is http://www.nbi.gov.ph.

a) OTHER COUNTRY POLICE CERTIFICATES. Applicants aged 16 years and older must also present police
certificates from other countries where they have lived for six (6) months or more after reaching age 16. As
with NBI clearances, foreign police certificates should be obtained in any maiden names, aliases or nicknames
used while in the country in question, including different spellings you have used of those names. Country-
specific information on how to secure police certificates is available on the State Department’s website at
http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html."
