Police certificate valid for 1 yr!

Hi, will my police certificates be good for K1 visa interview as they were issued in 9 months prior in 2013? There is no expiration dates on those police certificates, just issue dates. Are they too old? Thanks!

Each visa applicant aged 16 years or older must a police certificate from each country in which the applicant has resided for one year or longer. The certificate(s) must be issued within one year of the date of the visa appointment. NOTE: An applicant must present a police certificate from is/her country of current residence and country of nationality, if residence in such country exceeds 6 months

For specific information regarding the police certificate required for each country, please visit http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_3272.html. Some countries also require a specific Police Certificate Request form to properly request and obtain Police Certificate(s). The Reciprocity by Country page indicates those countries.

Police certificates from certain countries are unavailable.

Present and former residents of the United States do NOT need to obtain any U.S. police certificates.

Canada police certificates are valid for a period of 1 year; applicants must present a valid police certificate on the day of the interview. Police certificates from other countries do not expire, unless the applicant has returned to the country in question after the issuance of the police certificate for a period of at least 6 months.

I hope that this information is useful.

I don't think you put the correct interview date in your timeline. If the date on the certificate is less than a year prior to the day of the interview, then you are good, as it states in what you posted.
