Police certificate & interview date

[J&J2013 0]

Hi,

Does anyone know if I am required to bring a police certificate from the US government to my k1 visa interview if I spent 1 year working there under a non-immigrant visa several years ago. I already have my UK police certificate, but I suddenly realised I may also require a US one.

Also does anyone know the current interview-wait time for London - I submitted my packet 3 at the end of october and wanted to get an idea of when I may hear back regarding an interview date.

Thanks,

Jen

RE The Police Certificate Question.

You Don't need to have a police cert from the US. If you check the London Embassy Website http://london.usembassy.gov/application_documents.html you will find a lot of great advice on there.

Correct - The US conducts their own background check and there is no need to get a Police Certificate

On the interview date, have you already had your medical and submitted the DS-2001? The embassy doesn't consider you eligible for interview until all DS forms, including the readiness letter (DS-2001), and the medical exam results have been delivered to them. For my fiancé, he received the interview letter about three weeks after his medical exam and the interview was four weeks away from that date.

Also, did you include a specific date in your cover letter and/or state that you're open to taking any cancellations? Those may help push things along.

There is no such thing as a US Police Certificate. In this country we are not required to register with the local police everywhere we live and when we move. We can freely move and live about.
