Ecuadorian Pensionado Visa(EPV) paperwork in absentia

11 years ago

I have a friend(we are not related by blood or marriage) that lives overseas and I live in the US.

We both want to apply for EPVs but it would be difficult(financially) for my friend to return to the US to secure the necessary police background check and conformation of SocSec income affidavit needed as part of the application process.

Is there anyway I can secure these forms on his behalf as I am with him now for a short time visiting him in the foreign country he lives in?

Lastly, just to confirm, I believe the aforementioned police background check is valid for six months(180 days).

Thanks to all for any/all advice!
