Police Certificate

[Lucy NY 1]

Hi,

Does anyone know how long the police certificate is valid for? I order mine a few months back - being a little optimistic about the speed of our NOA2 and now by the time I get interview I am sure it will be over a 6 month period since it being issued. Will this then be out of date?

Thanks

Police certificates

They are good for a year, so no use waiting until the last minute

if your still in doubt and want to put you mind at ease I suppose you could always phone up and double check before you go down for your interview

I have all the Document written out am hanging on until i send it off until i get a lot closer to my interview date just in case

ok to make sure i wasnt posting false information (which i believed to be correct) i went to the website where i obtained my form from and read through the FAQ for you

How long is my Police Certificate valid for?

there is no set period of time for which the Police Cerificate is considered to be valid. The Police Certificate is only truly accurate on the date of issue. Embassies or High Commissions will usually require you to produce a Police Certificate, which has been issued less than six months before your visa interview

oh yeah and if you do decide to apply for another one (am sure you know where to go)

but just in case

" Please note that the Immigrant Visa Unit considers the police certificate valid for 12 months from the date of issuance, not six months as stated on the certificate." (http://london.usembassy.gov/interview_documents.html)

Thanks for clearing that up so yeah looks like your Police Cert should be fine

My husband mailed me his police certificate (which in Paraguay is titled "certificate of antecedents). It has his name, his identity card number, his birthdate, his nationality and a line stating that he has no prior antecedents.

Does this sound like it should be good enough?

thanks
