    NVC Filers - June 2014

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted · Edited by Atrain01

    Happy June everyone!

    My husband's case has been at NVC for a few weeks now, and I've filled out the 261, and am waiting for the IV bill to become payable... I have a question relating to the paperwork I am trying to get ready for the IV packet:

    I told my husband last year that we would need to get police certificates, so he went to a friend who is a police officer, and who issued him something called a "constancia de verificación de ciudadano" which apparently is what is used within Venezuela-- But I had been looking at websites, including VJ, and knew that there is something that the Venezuelan government issues for foreign use (certificado de antecedentes penales) which seems to be what the state department expects to see... So I have been trying to request them online, but the website doesn't seem to work hardly at all, although one person on VJ told me she had successfully requested them there... even if it works, my husband will have to go to Caracas to pick the papers up, which is possible but a bit of a headache...

    So I have been posting about this in the IR-1/CR1 forum, and another user told me that in his/her opinion it maybe isn't necessary, that s/he is going off information listed on the state dept's website about what the embassy requires, and the Caracas embassy (where this person was looking) doesn't mention police certificates.

    So now I am getting very confused-- Can anyone out there shed some light? Are police certificates required for all countries at the NVC stage? If so, do we need the ones from Caracas, or will the local ones do? Does anyone have helpful tips for getting the website to work?

    Thanks so much for your thoughts!

    You can use this link: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html

    This is called the Reciprocity by country. It will provide you with the document requirements for every country and how the documents are usually obtained. Some countries require a police certificate and some dont. My wife is Afghan and she is living in Pakistan and according to the information on that site, police certificates are not available and not required for consular processing for Pakistan and Afghanistan. I also confirmed on the US embassy Islamabad website that the police certificate is not required.

    This is what I found for Venezuela on that site:

    Police Records

    Available. Police certificates (Certificación de Antecedentes Penales, in Spanish) are available free of charge to Venezuelans and non-Venezuelans over the age of 18 who are physically present in Venezuela and have either a national identity card (cédula de identidad, in Spanish) or passport. Applicants must apply in person at the División de Antecedentes Penales del Ministerio de Interior y Justicia, Edificio Paris, piso 5, La Candelaria, Caracas, Venezuela. Venezuelans residing outside of Venezuela can obtain their police certificate by having a close relative resident in Venezuela submit a request (this option is not available to non-Venezuelans).

    I hope this helps

    Forgot to include this part.

    Alternatively, the any applicant may obtain a police certificate online. Consult the following web site http://www.mpprij.gob.ve/ and select the option "certificaciones para trámites intercionales". Is this the site that you were trying?

    Can anyone tell me what's the difference between CMR and DR? I sent my AOS package Attn: CMR AOS instead of DR...any idea??? The AOS package was delivered on the 27th....I'm waiting to get IV invoice and no updates yet...I'm worried if it's because of which department I sent the package to.

    DR is Document Review. CMR is Central Mail Room or something like that. I remember in another post someone talking about what CMR and DR stood for

    Leave it blank then if you can... if you can't write ---none---

    So your wife didn't have a surname or family name before you? Just a given name?

    LOL!

    Yes it is important to include EVERY page. At least you can easily scan the last page and email away.

    yes she just had a first name which is reflected on her birth certificate. Our marriage certificate, passport, and her identification paper for Afghanistan has the last name she took on when we got married

    Did anyone send a copy of form 1040 for their AOS? if so, did you re-sign the form if your copy did not have a signature?

    I completed my form 1040 using a computer, printed it, signed it and mailed it to the IRS. What I have now is the copy of the form 1040 stored on my computer... wondering if I need to print it and sign it again before sending to NVC.

    Oh man......I only sent the first page of my 1040. Do they want the whole thing? Instructions for the i864ez said they only look at the adjusted gross income so I just sent the first page

    Okay so I am currently living in Pakistan and have lived in saudi arabia previously. Now according to the travel.state.gov website i do not need police records for any of the countries. Is it a good idea to send with the civil documents, a print out of where it is written on the website tht it is not required and highlight that statement ? Or should I just let it go. I just wanted to send them a reminder so I dont end up getting a check list ? What do you say experts?

    According to the US embassy Islamabad website, it says you do not have to submit a police certificate if you have resided in Pakistan, Afghanistan or the US. So you probably will have to get one from Saudi Arabia if you were there for more than 1 year after the age of 16. Pakistan police certificate is not required. Here is the link to the site where it is stated

    I called NVC today to ask if they already reviewed my AOS. The CSR said they just did today and there were errors at part 3 and 5 of Form I-864EZ. I asked if we are going to get an email today but she said we have to wait for a couple of day. I just found out that my husband put the wrong figure. He had put the amount on the first box of his W-2 instead of #37 of form 1040EZ (Adjusted Gross Income) and didn't send a transcript.

    Anyone who have requested for the transcript of Federal Tax Return at IRS? Can I do it online or should I do via post? I would prefer online just in case. I appreciate your reply guys! Thanks!

    It can be done online and you get it right away. Just have to create an account. You can also request it by postal mail if you want
