Police records for Fiancee

[KevinF 3]

My fiancee lives currently in France. However, she has lived in Morocco and the UK in the last 20 years. She has her French police certificate. Does she need one from Morocco and the UK? She lived in Morocco 7 years ago and in the UK 17 years ago.

Read the Embassy's rules but usually from everywhere they lived since 16 years of age and up.

Contact the consulate/embassy where the interview will take place and ask them. Preferably by email, so that you have proof of what they answered. It probably depends on how long she stayed in Morocco and the UK.

I thought I would need police certificated for the UK and Israel, I've lived in both countries for a little less than a year each, and I thought police certificates are required for every country where you've lived for more than 6 months since age 16. Then I found a different place on the travel.state.gov website where it said "for more than 12 months". I called USCIS to find out whether the 6 months or the 12 months rule is right, but they just said "well, wait till the consulate contacts you, they'll tell you what you need to bring." I didn't want to wait until then and make this whole thing take even longer, so I emailed Frankfurt and asked them. They wanted to know where I had been for how long and what I'd been doing there and then told me that I don't need police certificated from the UK and Israel, which is nice, saves me some time and money and hassle.

if they were all places of residence since the age of 16 then likely yes...
