My wife and I have worked around the world as United Nations staff members. I understand that the immigrant visa application requires police certificates from each country where the applicant has lived for more than 12 months. In our case, this is a number of countries where it is difficult to obtain a police certificate. I have read the State Department's instructions for obtaining a police certificate in each individual country.

My question is whether my wife can be exempt from providing these police certificates given our status as United Nations employees with the privileges of immunity/extraterritoriality (i.e. exempt from local judicial process, police interference, etc.)? Does anyone have experience with this? If so, does anyone have a sample letter or language that could be used to explain this principle and that would be accepted by the consular officer?

Thanks.
