Police Certificate for K1

[Jude61 2]

Help! I was trying to be efficient and had my police certificate done 6 months ago but by the time I have my medical it will be more than 6 months old. The US embassy site says the police certificate has to be within 6 months but the guides I have read on this site say a year. Which is correct? Do I need to get a new certificate?

Hi I think it must be within 6 months for the medical, I was told by the embassy that i would be required to get a new police certificate for the medical as mine will be out of date though it would have been valid still for a further 5 months. My petition is on hold for legal purposes which the embassy have been great about as they've kept it open for us till my case is sorted. In the guidelines it does say the certificate needs to have been issued within 6 months fro the medical.

I've known several who were okay at Knightsbridfe with an older than 6 months police certificate. Call up Knoghtsbridge and ask if you are concerned about it. They are the ones with the final answer. Remind them that the embassy accepts as old as 12 months.
