This is Ukraine specific. Those of you that have gotten police certificate in Ukraine, was it a hassle to do it yourself? Or did you hire a company to obtain the police certificate? How long did it take? Appreciate any inputs. Thanks.

It's not difficult at all. You can hire a company, or you can go to the local Police Department. Either way would work. It can take from 3 to 30 business days to get it done. It just depends on price you pay. The sooner you need it - the higher price you pay. .

Is your Fiance(e) in Kiev?...

Their website says it will cost 240 hryvnas (around $10) to get a Police Certificate for 3 days..

your wife could even go on-line and fill out the application, to save her time.

Thank you Ksenia. I forwarded the info to her. I really appreciate it.

As it turns out, she informed me she had just contacted them and we see them in the morning.

But it's great to have that info here. I know of another person from Ukraine just got their I-130 NOA2 approval.

You are very welcome!

I've been using the company for years... And sill do. They've done a good job for my family with translating all documents we needed, getting them notarized, obtaining Apostille on Diplomas and of course, helping with Police certificates and other documents from Ukr. Officials.

P.S. About Apostille. Probably you already know that and got it done. But just in case - your wife could evaluate her Diplomas into USA credits. It would definitely help with a job search. The only thing is the USA Evaluation Centers usually work with Diplomas, verified with Aposille through Information and Image Center under the Ministry of Education and Science in Ukraine.

I'm sure they will be very helpful for your wife if she decides to go with them.

Good luck!!!

Ksenia, thanks again. She ordered the Police Certificate. It was 240 UAH to get it in 14 working days. I wanted it sooner so she paid another 40 UAH to get it in a week. Rather cheap for less than $12. At this time we don't plan on doing anything regarding diplomas/school records. We are a mature couple in our 50's and I took an early retirement 3 years ago. So there is no current plan for work. Just want to enjoy traveling while we still have enough good health to do it.

I'm glad it's working out! And for very reasonable price!
Thank you for letting me know.
I've traveled a lot in my "before immigration journey" life. Well, for now it's just one destination, USA-Ukraine round trip:) - trying to visit my parents as often as my work lets me..
But one day my husband and i are planning to start traveling again. We believe the traveling is one of those things that make you completely happy.
Wish you luck with your immigration journey and when your wife is finally here - let all your travelling plans come true!!!
