8老師您好，我現在在consular processing階段，剛剛交了IV fee,請問何時能收到NVC發給我的NVC welcome letter的email?
我現在居住的國家要辦無犯罪證明，必須要一個notice from NVC requesting the police clearance. The notice should include the case number and the applicant's name.
請問這裏說的這個notice就是NVC welcome letter吧？
-No. There is not NVC Welcome Letter. After you provide all of the required documents to NVC including DS 260 Visa Application, then NVC will send you the Appointment Notice which list the documents required for visa interview indcluding the Police Clearance Certificate (無犯罪證明), but it may take a long time for you to receive the appointment notice (3 to 6 months, case by case). Thus, you can not wait for the notice to get the 無犯罪證明 in your current resident country. So, you may just print out the information from the webiste of US Department of State, and use that information to request the 無犯罪證明 in that country. This is the website (click "Police Certificates" tab at that website):
我還有倆月就要離開這個國家了，急需這個notice好在離開前辦好無犯罪證明。
有人說交了IV fee以後NVC不會主動發什麽notice,就靠申請人主動填DS-260和submit supporting documents. 不知是真是假。這情況我根本無法獲得無犯罪證明啊。這該怎麽辦呢？
-NVC should send the instructions to you or you rlawyer. If no, you or your lawyer can call them. You also can follow the instructions at either of these website to do it:

非常感謝8老師的無私幫助！
