Police Certificate

[gigilong 0]

Hi......I have a question about my K1. I spent 6 months in US with my USC fiance (with B2 visa, not over stayed). Do I need the police certificate from US for my K1? If the answer is yes, where should I ask for it?

Any advices would be much appreciated.

I have an additional question to this. How soon should I have my fiance work to get these documents considering I just submitted the K1 petition a week ago? How long should I have her wait?

Thank you-

Mark

please start a new topic when you have a new question. It will make it easier to find for others looking for the same answers. Oh and it will make the life of the organizers much easier.

In answer to your question, it really depends on how long it takes to get the police certificates from the Countries in which the beneficiary lived. Some places take quite a bit of time and some Consulates take care of it for you. You will need to first find out where you need police cert from and then find out how long the process will take to get it. No harm in getting the police papers early... the other documents needed for interview (affidavit..etc) should wait until after you are approved.

It is needed at the consulate interview so you have time... find out the required lead time for a PC in India and plan accordingly.

There is harm, and that is the length of time the police certificate is valid for. Some police certificates are only valid for 6 months, so you should first find out how long it is valid for.

Typically, you can wait till your NOA2 before you really need to start gathering your documents, but anything you can get ready now, or at least knowing what you will need, will be a definite advantage.
