Police records.

I have been doing some reading, & what I have been seeing is that different countries have different processing times for the requested police records you need for the K-1 visa. Well, it has been 2 months since the NOA1, & surely, we're hoping, maybe another month for the NOA2, but I was wondering - can we go ahead & get started on that now so that we don't cut into our time too much once the NOA2 arrives, or should we wait it out?

Thank you in advance.

Also, another question. Do both me & my fiance need a police certificate, or just the beneficiary? He also has lived in 3 different towns since 16, does he need a certificate from each town, or will one suffice if he doesn't have a criminal record?

You can go ahead and get them now - they're good for 6 months to a year. Only the beneficiary needs a police certificate.

Thank you, but he has lived in 2 different towns since age 16 - does he need one from both towns or does one cover them both?

My understanding after I asked the question in <a href="http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=233894">this</a> thread is that one UK police certificate will cover the whole country, everywhere he's lived. You write the addresses he's lived at in the past five years on the form itself, which is here:
