Police report problem

[JoeCanuk 3]

I noticed in the guide that the police report is supposed to be less than three months old. Has this been true on the whole? I got mine in January and someone from Montreal told me it will still be good.

Again this is a reliance on the guide issue... Some consulates want it to be within 3 months. Others such as Kiev, the police reports are valid for ONE YEAR... If Montreal is your consulate and they say it is still good who should you believe?

Most consulates accept reports that are up to 1 year old.

EXAMPLE from China:

Notarial birth certificates, marriage certificates and divorce certificates have unlimited validity. Medical reports, notarial single certificates and police certificates are good for one year from the date of issuance.

Montreal of course. But then, they can lie. That's all I need is to go all the way to Montreal and find out I was lied to. That's why I asked what others have experienced.

When I ask what others have experienced, I'm told to believe Montreal. When I say I'll believe Montreal, I'm mildly chastised for not believing others. I just can't win.

Cool, YuandDan. Thanks.

Why would they lie? Or do you really mean that if they didn't completely understand your question then you may have received an incorrect answer....

I just think they'd lie. Come on. It's US immigration. They could care less if they lie to us. They still get our money.

I am simply trying to help you here but based on this and a few other recent posts from you I read, it is obvious that you will be wearing your "FU Uncle Sam" t-shirt at your interview.....

Simply trying to help eh? You asked a question and I gave an answer. For one, I don't have a tshirt that says that. And two, I just don't quite trust them not to lie to me.

Yeah, sit there and cast judgement. Walk in my shoes before you do that though. Oh...and I'm out of ink now too. I can't even print that form I need. Now I have to go and hope someone else will let me use theirs. Have a nice day God...I mean fwaguy.

Joe,

Also going through MTL here - so I totally know what you're talking about them not being quite reliable as we would like them to.

Yet I don't think you have reason to worry - as far as I remember, police certificates are good for one year, and medicals for 6 months.

Hope this helps, L.

Hey, thank you. That's fine. FYI though, MTL told me the medical was good for a year as well.

Then why ask the questions when MTL already gave you an answer?

I already answered your question. Because I saw on here that it is good for three months. Why ask me why I asked the question when I already said why I asked the question?

YuAnddan,

It is pointless since we are ignorant asses... the extent of anything from now on should only consist of RTFM.

Is that so? How come you can talk like that about me? Reported.
