[neosez 1]

Hi, I'm living for past three years in another country (Mauritius) for job purpose but i visit my home country (Pakistan) every year for 15-20 days to meet my family. My question is for Police certificate

Home Country - Pakistan - From June-1980 - Nov-2009

Currently Living Mauritius - Dec-2009 - Present

as i visit my home country do i need to make my police certificate from Pakistan current date or till Nov-2009? to cover my visits back to Pakistan or its OK till Nov-2009 when i left Pakistan for job.

Also within my home country i lived two different homes within same city, should i need to mention in Police Certificate or current home address is OK?

THanks in Advance

I have police certificate of two different countries, nowhere it is mentioned that in which time I lived in that country. I just had to mention the year and date to the application when I applied for PCC. According to my experience, you have to mention the Nov-2009 in your application and its their (police) duty how to make the PCC. Hope someone from Pakistan will give you more specific reply.

About your second question, current home address is OK.

You need to provide Police Clearance Certificate from any and every country you have lived in for a period of 6 months or more after the age of 16.

Acquiring a Police Certificate from Pakistan takes about 1 week, you need to fill in a form in which you need to mentioned where you lived and from when to when. That will cover your 2 residences as long as they were in same city. Take note that Pakistani Police Certificate is valid only for upto 1 month so you should get it only 2-3 weeks before your interview date.

You will also need to get one from Mauritius since you are living there for about 3 years now.

I was going to apply for a Police Certificate and submit it with DS-230 until I found out about the validity period. So in my case, I will write a letter to NVC explaining why I have not sent the PCC just yet and I will also inform them that I will bring it with me at the time of interview and will present to Consul Officer but that is just me.

You can contact your relevant embassy/consulate and check with them.
