VisaOfficer:
Greetings! A laminated police certificate will be fine. We've seen Malawi do that with other applicants. No wahala.

Greetings VO! What a relief! Thank you so much for taking the time.

Good morning CO,

I am a US petitioner for my Nigerian husband and we are currently at the NVC stage of processing. All documents have been submitted and I expect a case complete any day.

My husband has lived in a couple different countries and we had to secure Police Clearance certificates from those countries. Malawi proved to be the most expensive - $400. In addition to the exorbitant fee, we had to send the money via Western Union and trust that the Sergeant we were dealing with wouldn't run off with our money. In the end, he did his country proud by processing our application and issuing the Police Clearance certificate. However, once my husband received the certificate, we found that it was LAMINATED. My question is will this certificate be accepted at the interview in Lagos in its laminated state? We do not have another $400 to pay for a new certificate and it was mailed to my husband laminated.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Mar
