I believe Yes, you need it because it's longer than 6 months 😊

I believe you will as I think anywhere you have lived for 6 months or more will require you to get one. Doesn't hurt to request and have it just in case.

thank you! I know it doesn't hurt but it's kind of a big hassle since they don't send it overseas, I have to do all the courier arrangements, but I figured I'd have to do it heh... thanks

Hey guys, quick question which I couldn't solve by lurking and asking on another subforum: I (the beneficiary) spent 9 months in New Zealand about 8 years ago. Does anyone know if I will need my NZ police certificate? (I'll be going to the Argentina consulate for the interview)

thank you!

You don't need it! You only need police certifcates from places you have lived for 12 months or longer. At least that's what it is for the London embassy, but I'm pretty sure it's standard across the board.

This I've never heard of.

So now that I know NVC has received the case, how long do they actually take to assign a case number?

wow, NVC just got your case?! according to your timeline, you got your NOA2 over a month ago!

 

that makes me so sad, I have to wait so much longer

From the UK website here:

uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/required-documents/

 

I tried uploading a screenshot of the specific section, but it won't work for some reason. Basically says a background check is:

"Required for all countries where you have lived for 12 or more months since the age of 16, and any country where you have been arrested even if you weren't a resident there."

It depends on where the beneficiary will have the interview. UK and India indicates police clearance is needed if you stayed for more than 12 months but for other countries it will say at least 6 months of residence.

The UK is considered a low-risk country so certain requirements will be different and less strict than others. However, the standard requirement is 6 months of residency in a different country.

When I filed and looked at the site, said 3.5 months (~110 days) for approval.  Who knew 186 days we'd still be waiting. 🤔

The only safe bet lately seems to be add 14 days to the previous months numbers and add that again for each month past. The spike in time has been crazy.

Just hope that you get the NOA2 before December 9!!!  This is completely a bizarre year.  What else can possibly happen?

Yeah, just what everyone waiting wanted. Hopefully they get back up in time for us to file our AOS paperwork. Should have her back home and probably hiding under the comforter in about 24 hours.
