Hello,

I have some doubts as I collect all the papers for the application:

- It was discussed many times that it is important that the university
transcripts should be submitted in a sealed envelope. However, all my
documents have to be translated, which is impossible without giving
the original to the translator. Does it make sense that in this case
the requirement on having it sealed can be omitted because of
translation? I asked this in a letter to the embassy but after two
months - still no answer (Berlin).

- I am going to apply in the country of my current residence which is
different from one where I lived till moving couple of years ago.
Getting the police clearance there should be done by me in person, so
it will take time, till my next vacation. As I understand, this is
mostly required _after_ the initial assessment. Do you think they can
kick my application back as incomplete if I submit only the clearance
from my current country first, explain the things in the cover letter,
and send the second clearance paper several months later?

Thanks and have a nice weekend!

University sealed transcripts don't need to be translated - they must be
submitted in sealed by university envelopes. You may include translation of
the transcript copies you have received with your degree.

If police certificate from country of your previous residence is required
then your application may be returned as incomplete if submitted without it,
or at least case will be assigned a file number but will not go into process
until you submit certificate.
