UK police certificates

...even though at the time I was panicking and so stressed out that I wasn't eating.

I am having exactly the same problem...I am what my husband calls a "healthy eater" and my US size 2 mother calls "overweight" (Thanks, Ma!) and the RFE this week cancelled my appetite. Very, very unlike me...hope it lasts, I've already lost 2 pounds!

Nah, don't hope for that. Just try to catch mono; it's the best diet ever.

Already had mono when I was 14 years old and svelte. Totally wasted on me back then. I shall hope for a tapeworm instead.

I got down to 95 lbs with mono....oh, how I envy myself then.

U.K. police certificates are considered valid for 12 months from the date of issuance.

I could not find that information anywhere! It was one of the most stressful times of my K1 visa journey. I was soooo efficient that i ordered my police certificate early and it took only28 days to arrive. Beleiving that the visa would only take 3 months i thought it was wise to get everyhting together early. Of course it took 4 and a half months and I had a feeling i had read somewhere that police certs where only valid for 3 months after issuance so i started to pnic and ordered another police certifictate. I mailed my packet 3 back stating that ihad everything they had requested and got my interview date sooner than i thought i would. It was going to be the 39th day after my receipt notice for the 2nd police cert. It arrived the day before. Stresssssssssssss! If i had known that it was valid for 12 months I would not have had the stress. OOh well, all worked out and here I am waiting on an FBI namecheck. Good O.

My police certificates took 14 days to come through from the date I posted the forms. I sent off two forms, one to my local county police force and one to the Met in London, both came through at the same time (23 Jan 2007).

For most UKers it has taken 30-40 calendar days. No less.

My husband got his in 9 calendar days.

Ahem. Always so quick to be negative...
