Hi Joe,

I know exactly how you feel cause I was feeling the same back on January, but I'll help you sharing my experience. Imagine that my fiancé (now my husband cause he is already here) is cuban (me too, but US naturalized). My cuban fiancé was living in Venezuela for the past 15 years, but from 2003 to 2004 he lived in Beijing, China cause he was working there. When the K-1 process started, a police certificate from all the countries where he had lived after 18 years old had to be submitted. That means that we needed Police Certificates from Cuba (he lived there until he was 19), Venezuela, and China for the year he stayed there. Cuba and Venezuela weren't a problem at all. THE BIG DEAL WAS CHINA!!!! because the Chinese Consulate in Venezuela refussed to help him stating that they don't issue or handle Police Clearances for anyone. The consular officer at the US Embassy told my fiancé to get at least a statement from the Chinese Consulate in Venezuela stating they don't handle Police Certificate and that would be enough. My fiancé even had an interview with the Chinese Consul in Venezuela and she refussed to issue any kind of official document from the Embassy in Venezuela explaining that they do not handle police certificates through the Consular Section. At that point, we didn't know what to do cause it was impossible and unthinkable to go to China to get that paper. But thanks God I found some information online about the place to go to get that in China, I really don't remember the website but here is what we did:

my husband still have some good friends in Beijing and we emailed them a scanned copy of his passport, a copy of the chinese visa issued to him back on 2003, and a letter signed by him authorizing his friend to request the police clearance for him. His friend received everything and went to the Police Station with the copies previously scanned and emailed to her, and paid the required fee and had it in 1 week. Then, she took it to a chinese translator and notary who translated the police certificate to English language and notarized it, and paid the required fee also. (I sent our friend in China about $170.00 for the whole process, the fee to get it done and the fee to get it traslated and notarized). Once our friend had everything, she did the same. She scanned the papers and we printed them in a color printer and took it to the Embassy. My fiancé got his visa right there. The best option is to get the originals but I was in Venezuela for his interview date and we didn't have the documents in hand nor had time to get them via DHL or other currier delivered from China, so our friend scanned them and when we printed them in color printer, came out pretty good and were accepted right away by the US Consular Officer at interview.

Well, that's our experience. If your soul mate is chinese or is in China at the moment, it won't be any problem on getting the police clearance. Just remember to get it translated and notarized, ok????

If you need any other advise, please, let me know, ok??

I wish you the best!!!! and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is fairly straightforward when one lives in China. I live in Xiamen with my lady. Her "Hukou" (family registration) is in ANOTHER Povince/City (like state/city in US). She must go through the Hukou....city/province Security Police to get this form. It then must be taken to the Public Notary Service "Gong Zheng Cheng Chu" -- this is both a "NOtary & Translation service. She will end up with a White Book - about 8 pages long. It will contain the "original Police Certificate, a translation, a certification page in English, a certification page in Chinese, and depending on the document (single certificate, Notoral Birth Certificate, Police Certificate -- OR OTHER DOCUMENT) -- it might contain other pages. It has all the RED STAMPS and English Translations needed. Takes about 2 days for easy-short documents - took us a week to get a copy of her deed (mulitple pages - translated into english). NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS...she must go back to where her Family REgistration is -- Hukou (CHINA ID CARD FAMILY REGISTRATION). Doesn't matter where she lives now...or has lived!!! It took me a long to time to get this concept...I just didn't want to belive it!. She ONLY NEEDS 1 for CHINA...regardless of how long she has lived in various places in China...the key is CURRENT Hokou. Hawaii Mike -- Living in Xiamen.

My fiancee lives in Guangzhou. She got her police certificate from the local police office. It took about 3 weeks, but it came along with the English translation and bound in a book.
