USA applicants for DTV:

Does anyone know if I can apply for DTV while in my country of residence, and once submitted, if I can travel to other places? For example, apply from USA, then go to Europe and/or other parts of Asia while I am waiting?

Regarding criminal record documents, what specific place do I request for these?

People claim you cannot leave but I had three AI models scour the government sites and see nothing stated.

I’d ask the consulate. It’s not uncommon for them to do what they want regardless of the law.

You'd need to ask the consulate you applied through if it's ok to travel. Most want you to remain within their jurisdiction and leaving risks your application
