A little worried (Police Cert)

 Share

Recommended Posts

My fiance is a Filipina living in S. Korea. She also lived in Japan for a six month period after the age of 16. I've read many places that she doesn't need a police certificate unless she stayed more than 12 months in another country other than the country she is residing, which would be six months.

I read something on the Seoul consulate website that says this:

Police certificates from countries where the beneficiary has resided after the age of 16;

Now, I'm a little confused. We have an approved petition...has anyone dealt with this before or a situation similar? I don't want to get surprised by anything at her interview. Any help would be appreciated.

The 12 month requirement for stays abroad is the standard. Your packet 3 information should detail the specifics for Manila. I believe they are downloadable from the consulate website for you to review. I hope that is the case for you as Japan takes 2-3 months for a certificate.

YMMV

Hi, I lived all my live in Peru but 4 months in Venezuela (I was older than 16 years age).

I got my fiance visa and already married in USA, when I did my papers for the K1 Visa I mentioned that I lived also in Venezuela but never gave a Police Certificate from Venezuela, only from Peru, and it was ok.

Good luck!

Well, she is not doing her interview in Manila. She is doing it in Seoul...that's where she lives right now. The website I got that info from was the Seoul Consulate, but everything I read elsewhere says 12 months...that blurb says everywhere you have lived after the age of 16. I just want to know if that was perhaps just a guideline, as the page I was reading it off of was sort of a timeline as to how the K-1 works.

I haven't gotten packet 3 yet, but I was thinking about contacting the consulate in Seoul and asking the question. I was just checking to see if anyone had any information or knew anything about this.
