I am confused about the locality of Police Certificates to get

[maisflocon 0]

Hi all,

My wife's I-130 just got approved, and I am working on getting her police certificates now.

According to what I researched,

"If the applicant lived in a different part of their country of nationality for more than 6 months after and was 16 years or older, THEN the applicant needs a

police certificate from the police authorities of that locality."

Does that mean if my wife has lived in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing, she would need a police certificate from each location? Does she need to travel to those locations again? I have heard conflicting suggestion from other people that she only needs to get it from her "hukou" (registered residence), which will pull in info from all of China.

Has anyone have to deal with getting multiple police certificates before?

Hi Arun, I did look at that. It is still very confusing to me as it doesn't state if I need to get a certificate from each locality or just one locality where the residence is registered. I hope someone here who has applied I-130 for a Chinese spouse can provide me with the correct information.
