    Note: An affidavit executed before an official authorized to take oaths or affirmations must also be provided. More specific information is available from the NVC.

    Thanks?my wife already went and got it too she mailed it today i just wanted to be sure because if i got iv fee invoiced before i recieved the pcc i was gonna send it without it. Says itll be here in 6 days. So then we do have to also get the pcc translated too correct?

    No it isn't necessary. Any document in the native language of the country does not have to be translated :-D good news right? You can send the package without the PCC if you want and once u receive it use the same barcode to send it on it's on... But it'll prob be the same outcome if u decide to wait or not... Not sure anyone else has an opinion on this??

    I called last week to verify if for dominican republic a ppc was required to be sent to the nvc and the lady told me no only for the interview. But when i called again they told me it was required.many of relatives says they didnt have to send it and i have 2 others that said they did send it.

    I sent the police certificate. It's like 330 pesos.. And the hubby didn't have any problems getting it took less than 20 mins to get it... On the nvc website http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country/DR.html

    It states you should be sending it with the IV package. Play it safe n just send it if u can

    Do you have to add the ds-260 to the iv package if it's done online??? And can petitioner fill it online and sign and submit it? Is there anything regarding the ds-260 that has to be part of the package?

    Hi, u don't have to add the ds-260 to the package...the petitioner can fill it out but it's the beneficiary's infor so where it says did anyone assist u with the form u can put u that the petitioner did ... And no... U should print the confirmation page for ur record...

    Just sent out my AOS packet today. Now will prepare IV packet and wait for ds-260 to be available. Quick question do i need to submite the Police certificate for my wife to the NVC from Santo Domingo. Because i know i have to also bring one to the interview.so that means i need to have my wife get one for the nvc and then another one for the interview??

    You need to get One for NVC and The embassy will let u know if u need a new one (at least that's what I heard)

We were on hold for 4 mins (record breaker) my checklist was received on 04/23 idk when it was scanned and the operator said it's still being reviewed. My husband had to ask her though. All she said at first is they are waiting for the response of the checklist n that's when he said we already sent it n she checked sometbing n said okay we waiting for it to be reviewed... Let me know if urz gets accepted I'll be right behind u

    Called Lawyer and they verified that they sent to original birth cert.... Called NVC back and talked ot Jean.. She put us in for a supervisor review because I challeged them. It is absolutely the original. It is just really old looking. It has the stamps on it and the numbers of what book and page it is recorded at the registry. Also a second page with more stamps.

    I am sending my husband all the way to San Jose tomorrow just to get a certified copy just incase and I will send it again !! #######??? and Jean told me I don't need to get it translated since its going to a spanish speaking embassy.. ( not sure I will believe her but they have the original translation in the original package) Not too sure about what they are telling me . Jean told me they are not even finished reviewing the package. So maybe they will see a supervisor request and get it done all in one shot. She did tell me Supervisor reviews take up to 30 days ( but doesn't everything at the NVC?) I'm so angry. This is a joke. They have to realize that every country is different. Not all birth certs are pretty like the United States.

    Hey it doesn't take 30 days. I think the supervisor review has the same turn around about 2 weeks... That day I called (04/23 I think) and they said I sent the wrong birth certificate. I asked for a supervisor review (not knowing that my husband did give me the wrong birth certificate even though I told him which one I needed ?) I sent the correct r birth certificate the next day.... Received email about the check list on 04/24...I received a second checklist for the birth certificate yesterday 04/30.... So I think that may have been a response to the supervisor review? Maybe
