5 Police Certificates

[cjames 0]

So we are planning on filing DCF in Rome in 2 weeks time and are trying to get all documents together.

I, the UKC Husband, have been out of the UK for 13 years + and will require police certificates from 5 countries!

Has anyone else ever had to get more than that? Is it looked on positively / negatively... or does not matter?

I also have 2 other countries where I lived for 10 months each and am debating whether or not I should be proactive and get police certificates for these 2 places as well. These would be for Costa Rica and Curacao. I just keep thinking everything will be ok all the way through this process to the interview, except then the CO will ask me to get these 2 certificates as well.

I want to avoid an RFE but am I being too paranoid here?

Without forums like these the Wife and I would be completely lost, so thanks all

You need any and all police certificates from anywhere you have lived for 6 months + from the age of 16. If this includes Curacao and Costa Rica then you should probably get them. It may be frustrating now, but it will be easier at the interview and won't cause any delays.

I don't think USCIS or the embassy cares where you have lived, they just care you didn't break any local laws while you were there

Good luck.
