Hi there,

I have seen a few threads where the Embassy has not allowed enough time to get police checks done before the interview. Should I be proactive and get my case no from NVC and get police checks etc done now? I still don't have an interview date however I should hear very soon. I am going for the K-1 Visa.

Sure. Just keep in mind that police checks are valid for a year, and the medical is valid for six months.

I've asked this on this forum before - and several senor members specifically said they will be good for longer than the year as long as you have not returned to the location (i.e. you did not revisit that country). Now - we were talking about the US Embassy in the Philippines - and the country of the police clearance was Macau (China) ...

The OP is asking about the country of residence and there is plenty of other threads about different countries over the years that specify a period of 6 months to one year, most saying one year.

The link below is from a fellow Aussie and if AFP is the federal police check, yes you need that one. You can also ask about it in your regional forum if you'd like for more specific answers.
