Getting Police Certificates require Request Letter from NVC

[Manny and Judy 11]

Dear all,

 

I have a quick question, that I can't find any answers to on VJ or the official sites.  We Just got our I-130 approved, and I will be needing to get Police certificates from both Singapore and an Indian embassy for the NVC stage.

Looking at the Police Request forms, both Singapore and the Indian embassy require a request letter from the authority requiring these Police Reports.

 

The local USA embassy told me that in order to apply for Police Clearances, I can get a request letter from the National Visa Center.

Since I can't see any links or info to such letters, how do I get them? Do I get access to it once I receive my case number from the NVC?

 

Thanks in advance for any info.

NVC has a contact page; I recommend using that to contact them explaining your situation to get a letter

According to the Department of State document reciprocity site:  India police certificates are not available if not currently residing in India 

 

For Singapore the site has specific directions for how to acquire

Official sites are notorious in self contradicting themselves I have come to find through this process. While I have stumbled upon what you say, I also found that you can get Police Certificates in embassies for Indians not residing in India.

 

The requirements for both is to bring a letter from NVC.

While I just sent an email to the NVC, the NVC site says that currently it takes about 1.5 months to get back to inquiries.

 

I wonder if the checklist provided by the NVC when my case number is assigned contains links to such NVC request form letters.. Anyone else have any experience with this?

I also just found this following thread, where they say that they used the the DS-230 cover letter to get the PCC.
