police certificates

[D&Q 8]

My husband (beneficiary) is in Peru so that's where his interview is going to be. Do we need to send police certificates? Or can he take them with him at his interview? It will be a pain in the bum for my hubby to mail the police certificates from all the way in Peru.

They will need the police certificate to complete your case at NVC.. Its better he get it done and send to you Via Speed post, i had to send mine from Malaysia as well to NVC which delayed my case from being completed for 3 weeks.. Don't consider it as a " Pain" it's a requirement and its just about sending a paper to you.

Would it be better for him to send it directly to the NVC instead of me?

Who actually requested the police certificates? Have you received an official list (and not something that you "heard about" or "read about") of items to send or hand carry?

This is a photo of the first of the two pages of the list of items to hand carry to the interview with someone on a K-1 visa. I realise your visa is different, but I'd bet there aren't many differences between the two lists. (The other page of this list is one page back--the entire packet is posted there.)

Perú List of K-1 embassy interview documents from Packet

Unless you are told to send something to the NVC, I wouldn't. I would actually expect that this would potentially cause a delay because when they get something, they have to deal with it. Finding the packet to place that new document into probably won't take only 5 minutes. Of course, you can do whatever you want.

At my other half's interview, he was told that the police certificate is unnecessary. Hopefully they will remove that requirement from the list since that was such a PITA to get.

Once you get your packet, please also take photos of it in its entirety and post for others to see. I have gotten so many questions about ours and personal thank-you's from folks who found it helpful.

Edited to add:

1.) Please, when you are asking about your country specifically, please ALWAYS cite the country in the title. It is only 4 more letters and you'll have better odds of getting the info from people who actually have experience there. I usually ignore anything that is not specific because it is generally a waste of time. This thread actually is in the "Perú Portal" or I would have never seen it.

2.) Be very, very cautious about the advice that is country specific from someone with zero experience with your embassy.
