Consulate returned K1 petition to NVC

[albkos 1]

Hi -

The US embassy in skopje, Macedonia finally sent back our petition to NVC for fiance not being able to obtain a police certificate.and that our approval had expired and they did not want to extend anymore...I called NVC and at first t hey told me the petition is in Skopje and I am like no they said they sent it back, then she said yes they had received it the day before and said it would go back to USCIS this week. Pretty much only gave canned responses....

Consulate emailed me and told me the petition was being returned because of lack of police certificate

Really not sure what to do? Should I just file a new petition at Vermont or wait to hear back from this one?

Should I be receiving something in the mail from NVC?

Did not think things could get much worse but they have..........

Any advice appreciated...When I first joined this site no one posted about returned petitions but lately it is becoming more common?

What is the reason for not being able to obtain the police certification?

no reason, police keep telling him to come back today tomorrow next week........we have called everyone and emailed anyone we could in that country that would help...but nothing..so now we have come to the petition being returned, evertying else is in order...

A spousal petition doesn't expire. . .that may be your only choice because police certificates, once obtained are only valid for 6 months. . .so even if you get it while you wait for the next k1 to process, it will expire and you'll have to get a new one starting a cycle. . .

He needs to figure out where the power is, supervisor, etc. . .and get that certificate. Is Kosovo one of those places where nothing gets done without a bribe?

actually its my first time ever i find someone have difficulty to isse a police certificate ..its even a silly reason BUT ACCEPTABLE to deny the Visa ....

i see u r a K1 Visa ..rather u want for USCIS till they Mail u about Intention to revoke and by that time u submit a valid police certificate to them so the case is re-affirmed

or u can withdraw the K1 and start ovr again BUT u still need to get a police certificate after all ..thts a requirement for all visas category to USA

sorry about it

I know I am sure it is a place where they want something or other but to be honest nothing has been said.. I don't know, there is a big thing going on htere where all this stuff was stolen from there evidence room..I guess drugs, guns and cash...but they don't understand how it all happened....and I dont think anyone has lost there jobs or have been suspended...So what does that tell you?

I don't see how it is acceptable to deny based on not having a document....and it is not a requirment for all visas or all countries...In Macedonia the rules were changed that the applicant only needs the Court certificate and not the police certificate........so based on that I don't think it is requirement..but yes the embassy can ask for whatever they want....

Police sertificates of everywhere your SO has lived since the age of 16 is very important and they can definitely deny you based on that. For the K1 visa to be issued at the embassy in any country, it is a BASIC requirement for which there is no way around it.

Well I never thought there was a way around it. If I thought there was I would not be sitting here right now writing of my problems of my petition being sent back or being apart from my fiance for so long......wow thanks for the telling me that it is required...I must have been in a fog....I never expected the embassy to give my fiance a visa without a police certificate...but I dont see why they cant keep the petition validated until he receives his certificate.....
