Typically only 6 months...but it should say on the clearance...some are a year...some only a couple of months. Where are you getting your police clearance from? Germany? It is best to get your police clearance after your NOA2 though.

Usually for 6 months - this may vary.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Regardless of any expiration date affixed to the actual certificate, the US Consulate will accept them for as long as they will. Usually they are acceptable if obtained within a year of submission but it is best practice to obtain them as close to the interview date as practical.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
