Trouble understanding an IV follow up instruction letter

[DW2025 0]

Hello all, 

 

My parents and I are in the process of applying/receiving an immigration visa. After we did our interview, we got a refusal under 221(g) and were required to submit additional documents. Later, we received this letter below which I have attached to this post. 

 

For context: My mother is the principal applicant and my father is the spouse. I am considered a dependant as I was a minor when we began our application. Additionally, all 3 of us currently live in Canada (permanent residents) but are Chinese citizens, which is why the letter references "Canadian police certificates". 

 

My confusion is surrounding the information in each of the 3 bullet points in the letter. 

 

In the 1st and 2nd bullet point, it mentions that all applicants should submit police certificates and medical examinations. 

 

However, in the 3rd bullet point it only explicitly mentions the principal applicant and spouse to get police certificates and examinations. Then it goes on to say that passports for all applicants should be provided. 

 

So I am confused because based on the 3rd bullet point would that mean I am excluded from providing the police records and medical examinations? (since it only mentions principal applicant + spouse)

 

Or should I go off the information in the first 2 bullet points and assume that I need to do the same as my parents? 

Thank you very much everyone.

Your age at application isn’t necessarily relevant, you could have aged out and no longer be eligible for a visa. 
 

But give us more info (type of application, your age now, etc) and we can try and help. Just to confirm, you were included in the interview? 
 

If you are definitely eligible then I’d just send a police cert and medical for you as well. Better to provide too much than not enough.

Yes I was included in the interview, all 3 of us went and I am eligible for the visa (that was confirmed before I went to the interview).

 

It's eb-2 NIW, and I'm 25 now.

 

I'm just wondering if they added the 3rd stipulation because at the interview I  had mentioned that I was working + living in Canada and that it would be difficult for me to travel back and forth to China to do the medical exam and get chinese  police certs (in addition to Canadian certs).

So I was thinking that maybe they tailored the letter to our specific scenario, not sure though.

 

Another caveat is that I've never lived in China after age 18 (only have visited in spans of less than 3 months), would that mean I still need to get a Chinese police cert? Or would Canadian be sufficient?
