Hey guys,

 

What does it mean by  " Have lived in your country of current residence (if different from nationality) for more than 6 months., you will need a police certificate from  your country of current residence ". My wife is currently staying Spain for study purpose and she will be there for little more than 6 months. Does this option apply for her?. Any suggestions

It will apply if at the time you collect all the information she has been there for more than 6 month, then she needs a police report from Spain!!

Yes, if her home country is not Spain.

whole situation is bit tricky. She was in Europe since 2015 as she was doing her masters for 4cities with Erasmus scholarship which required her to do each semester in a different country in EU (stayed 4-5 months on each country). and last one is Madrid, Spain. Originally, she lived there  from  February to May, 2017. Since then she is staying in Germany on vacation.So, I have used Madrid address as her last (present address) and i have submitted all my documents on August 17,2017 which few days more than 6 months and she is leaving early next month for her home country Bangladesh. Now i am bit concern if they ask me for police certificate from Spain

Thanks. I am going to tell her to try for one before she leaves EU. She has visited so many countries.Sometime even i get confused. :blink:. Filling up DS-260 for previous address since 16 was toughest one.
