Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

One question about the police record does he need anything from the embassy at all to state why he wants the police record? Or does he just pop up there and ask for one.

I don't know how far back you have to go with the police records, but if he was living in another country.....I believe that he'll need one from each. Anyone else that had to do that.....help her out with this question?

You're right, if he lived in another country for more than 12 months or was arrested regardless of how long he lived there, he will need to get a police certificate from those countries as well.

Yeah..if u lived in any country from u were 16 yrs old u need one...

Be careful with this one...Some places say 6 months others say 12 months. I thought it was 12 months as well but Andre was in the Bahamas for 10 months and even our lawyer told us we would NOT need a police certificate. Lo and behold we got a 221g and our visa was delayed for 2 months because the embassy said they need one for any place of residence for more than 6 months. Don't know if we got someone in a bad mood or if that is policy. If it says it right on a JA embassy document then I would believe it otherwise I wouldn't risk it and would get the report for any country you lived in for more than 6 months.

I got that information on the NVC site (http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html#police). Found it in the section that states what you should expect with the NVC processing. Maybe it's different if you're going straight to embassy.

Yeah, 21 days for regular and 3 days for expedited. The fee for expedited is J$2000.

That is what I am saying. Everywhere you look says 12 months for another country. That is what USCIS says as well as other gov sites but when we got to the actual interview part they informed Andre what they want a police certificate for anywhere over 6 months. Do you send the police report to NVC when you are doing a CR1 visa or do you take it to your interview at the embassy?

Kingston has and always will be backwards and difficult

My dear, Kingston is a trip. Since the recent changes, they want you to send the original police certificate, marriage and birth certificates to NVC for the CR1. They send the package to Kingston when the interview date is scheduled. We have copies for the embassy just in case anything is lost.

So did we. At least on that front, you got it on the promised date...Can't say that for the other agencies sometimes.

I actually thought it was if they needed a police certificate for anywhere the resided since they were 16 years of age.

DANG......again, glad we went through this last year. Andre got his in 7 days without paying any additional fees. A mishap where they "forgot" to send it to him and found it on the desk; but 7 days nonetheless.

I feel so sorry for you guys sometimes.

The time to file would have been several years ago when you didn't even need to have an appointment. When you had all your docs together you just showed up at the embassy between certain times on certain days for your interview. Oh to have gone through the process then
