Police Clearance & Medical Exam Report: How long valid?

 Share

10 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

A police clearance letter and a medical exam is required for a US CR-1\IR-1 Immigrant visa.

How long is the letter and exam report valid for? 30 days? 3 months? 6 months?

I'm wondering if I can get the letter and medical exam done on the same day I submit the I-130 at USCIS in Bangkok, since I'll already be in the city. Would doing this be too early?

I'll be going the DCF route.

The police cert will take weeks to obtain. It is valid for 6 months. Keep in mind the entire country slows down for the up coming holiday.

Medical is done in one day and the results given that same day. The report is valid for one year.

To use DCF you must have been a legal resident on Thailand for at least 6 months. Have you been living there using an O type visa? If so you should be fine.

Do you know where to file the DCF case?

I have been living in Thailand for 5 years on a Non-Immigrant B visa. I have a work permit. TEFLer at the same school the entire time.

I read that my wife must bring a letter from the US Embassy to get the police certificate and medical exam. It said the letter will be in Packet Number 3.

Are they real adamant about wanting to see the letter from the Embassy?

Yes, I do know where to file the case. Sindhorn Building, Tower 2, 15th floor. Is this correct?

Good to see you can file DCF.

The police ask for NOA 2 or something similar. Adamant ? Its Thailand so everything is possible. In cases I helped with it was not mandatory but you never know with the cops. Try downloading P 3 to see if you can find something that will satisfy them.

Yes. You will file the DCF with the consulate section in that building.

according to the US State Dept website, the police cert is valid for one year.

I still am not clear(Thailand) about how early she can get the police clearance  letter in the DCF process. Sounds like she  needs to bring the police a document/letter, so my question is which document and when in the DCF process can you get it?

Since the process moves fast go ahead and get her police clearance certificates just in case there are any issues.  She needs it at the interview stage.
