Police certificate question

[maluk 0]

Hi,

I am a French native, who has been studying in Canada from September 2011 to April 2012, but applying from my current country of residency Hungary, and

I am preparing my documents for the interview at the embassy.

Do I need to have a police certificate from there? It is really expensive, and the delays are long.
I am confused between the 6 or 12 months period where it is supposed to be needed.
From here ,http://travel.state.gov/content/visa...it-to-nvc.html it seems I don't need to provide a police certificate for Canada.

From here it seems I have to: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/types/family/fiance-k-1.html#12

The second one seems to be more correct. Everybody has been in the same position?

Please, help me.

Best regards,
Jeremy

The first link does not apply to a K-1. Documents are not sent to the NVC when applying for a K-1 visa.

Police certificates from your present country of residence and all countries where you have lived for six months or more since age 16 (Police certificates are also required for accompanying children age 16 or older)

Yes you need it. Sorry about the expense and trouble but you will not clear the interview without it.
