My wife informed me the other day that the police record reports that they give in Buenos Aires for the consulate interview are only valid for 5 days.

I noticed that not only does the NVC requires a copy of the beneficiaries police records as well.

I was hoping someone from Argentina that went through the process or someone that is knowledgeable about this could add some info to this.

Is there a different type of police record she can get that doesn't expire so soon since the NVC will be forwarding all of the documentation to the embassy anyway? Does she need to get one for the NVC and then go back again for another one for the interview?

Thank you for your time. Just trying to get our ducks in a row before we get to the NVC so we aren't holding ourselves up.

For USCIS they consider police reports to be valid for 1 year starting from the date they were issued.

Moved from NVC forum to Mexico, Latin & South America regional forum; topic is country specific and requires country specific answers.

For USCIS they consider police reports to be valid for 1 year starting from the date they were issued.

Incorrect on two counts. First, police certificates are not submitted to USCIS in spousal visa cases, they are submitted to the NVC, a State Department agency. Second, police certificate validity can vary from country to country.

In Argetnina, the police record is valid for 6 months.

VERY IMPORTANT ALL CERTIFICADOS DE ANTECEDENTES PENALES (POLICE RECORD) MUST BE REQUESTED "CON LA EXCEPCION LA LEY 51 DEL CODIGO PENAL" OR IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY NVC.

I have read accounts of people being delayed for this reason.

The certificate also has to be legalized by the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores

Thank you for the information. Called NVC this morning and they didn't know what I was talking about.

Is what they told my wife regarding the police record for the interview at the consulate correct, that they only except the one valid for 5 days?

Thank you again :)

NVC deals with general procedures for all cases and are not familiar with each and every country's specific guidelines. It would be impossible!!!:) For country specific information refer to the Consulate page. This is where they specify about the police certificate. (I dont know where she got 5 days from?? Its always 3,6,12 months depending on where) Have your wife get 2 copies, legalize both. One gets sent to NVC, then they forward all documents to embassy where the interview takes place. Technically the embassy will recieve all original/certified documents but just in case always get 2 copies.

Once your through NVC you will recieve the interview letter, checklist and specific requirements for Buenos Aires.

Suerte!!!
