GC for Mom in India: Documents to send to NVC (National Visa Center)

[puneet1135]

Hello,


I filed a GC (I-130) for my mom and its was approved a few days ago. She is NOT adjusting status within USA, but will be getting the GC in India. The next steps are that application will be sent to NVC which will ask both me (petitioner) & my Mom (beneficiary) for some documents. I'm waiting to hear back from NVC. From my side, I know I'll have to file I-864 (affidavit of support) and financial supporting documents.


My questions:

1. Are there some common documents that the NVC regularly requires for beneficiaries from foreign countries (India in this case)

2. Will my Mom require Police Clearance Certificates from all states/areas she has resided in India since birth?

3. Will she require a clearance certificate from the India Passport department as well?

Have you visited the Travel.State.Gov website? There is some general information: https://travel.state.gov/content/tra.../petition.html

Financial documents:

Supporting documents:

I don't have sites for India specific information. Maybe there is information here in the forum or other forum/website. Good luck.
