Police certificate for NVC and interview

[julienchicago 5]

Hi,

My husband filed a I-130 petition for me (consular processing) which currently being processed by the Nebraska service Center.

I am looking at the documents required for packet 3 and the interview at the US embassy in my home country.

Regarding police certificates, do I need 2 originals: 1 to send to the NVC and another one to present at the interview? Or do I need just one original? (Ie will the one I send to the NVC be forwarded to embassy?)

you just need 1 original you have to send a copy to NVC and show original at time of interview.

Send a copy to nvc and keep the original one for the interview.

Just send copies of everything now, you show originals at Embassy

Be aware your Police Cert may expire, this process is not quick, I had to get another!

Hi,

I have 4 police certificates. 3 of them are from countries I lived in before but don't live in now. These might be 6-9 months old at the time of the interview but i assume this is fine given I don't live there anymore.

The 4th one is from my country of citizenship (France). I haven't lived in France in 9 years (I currently live in the us).

None of my police certificate list an expiration date.

Given all this, any advice as to whether I will need newer ones for the interview?

Thanks a lot,

Julien

I had to reapply for mine because my process took over 15 months!

Does the NVC or embassy request that police certificate are issued within a specific timeframe? (Eg less than 6 months old, etc)

Thanks!
