Hello,

My fiance and I just received our NOA2 and are now trying to get together all the documents we will need for the interview. While I have not received my information packets yet from the embassy, I have read that at the interview they will require you to show police checks from countries you have lived in for a period longer than 6 months. My fiance and I met while in China and we both lived there for about a year and a half. However, I was there on an F business visa, and I have also read that getting a police check is only available for those who were in China on a Z work visa.

I haven't contacted the Chinese embassy yet. I wanted to see if anyone had experienced this situation before and what steps they took to solve it. Also, if I am unable to get a police check from China, will that greatly affect the chance of my visa being approved by the US?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

What's the word when contacting any China Embassy/Consulate in Canada ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

I am the beneficiary, a Canadian citizen. And I have not had any luck in my communications with the Chinese, American or Canadian embassies. They all told me to get in contact with the local police station in Beijing. I asked my friend to go on my behalf and they denied my request because they don't do police clearance checks for F visa holders. I am very curious is anyone has been in the situation since I am not quite sure where to go from here.

Hi, I am in Beijng, China and just got my police certificate for my K-1 visa application.
I am on Z visa so I don't have the problem getting it.

How about you call them? I have the number if you need it. :)

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I was in China on an F visa and as far as I know the police don't give clearance certificates to people with that kind of visa. However, if you could still give me the number you used, I'd really appreciate it! I'm willing to try anything to solve this.
