Police Records in Japan

[Bryan in Tokyo 0]

Hi guys, thanks for posting, this site has been so helpful for Miwa and I (I'm a US citizen, and she's a Japanese national) We are planning to get married this year in Tokyo and most likely file DCF with the embassy to expedite at the end of the year (faster than k1?) and move back to LA.

My question: Miwa went to the police station to request Japanese police record , the policeman said they needed "written proof" of the "reason" the finger prints were needed, in this case, for a wedding visa I 130 app; but there is nothing on the US website that shows this fact.

Was wondering what doc you showed the police to prove you needed finger prints for wedding visa? Thanks!

Once you've applied and the US embassy is aware of your application, most will provide you with a written letter detailing the reason. For some you have to wait for your packet 3.

I think it is a bit early for her to go get a police certificate because it is a step after I-130 petition is approved.

She needs an approval letter from the embassy.

It is needed when she makes an appointment for a medical exam at a designated medical facility as well.
