Additional Info?
The Police Certificate is not required at the NVC stage, but it will be asked for at the interview. I was never advised of this, but I emailed the US Embassy about 4 weeks prior to my interview asking what else was needed and they told me to bring an updated Police Certificate. If I hadn't perhaps we would've been put on hold until we provided the document.
