I don't think this is true. As shown in screenshot from travel.state.gov, the 6 month and older than 16 years old rule only applies to the country of your nationality and the country of your current residence. All other countries, should be 12 months in order for you to need a police certificate.

 

Did NVC specifically request all of the places you were at for less than 12 months (with the exception of the countries of nationality and current residence)?

 

 

THANK YOU. I don't understand where the confusion on the 6/12 months is coming from. I understand that they have final approval but you would think that if that was the case they would've updated the website by now .

Looking at your timeline, you are a lucky person if your USCIS case was approved in just 2 months. 

Yes, I’m lucky my expedite was approved.

Agree with you. I think if there’s a field asking for additional Police Certificates, that I’ll plan on uploading the letters that NVC employee told you to do. I’ll also look into how hard it would be for my spouse to get PCC’s from the other two countries he’s lived in for more than 6 months. He’s Spanish living in Spain so I’m hoping it’d be quite easy to get French and Italian PCC. I’m going to email the Consulate in Madrid to doublecheck as they’ll have the final say on what documents we need.

 That's really smart. I hadn't even thought of that! I'll email the consulate in Dublin to check as well. Italian police cert wasn't difficult for my husband as he was just living there but I'm not sure what the process is like from abroad.

Most countries have you go through their Embassy or consulate when you’re abroad. What’s annoying is if you don’t live near said Embassy or consulate.

Hello All!

 

Just called the NVC. I was told to call back and dial Option 5 which means that I'm either electronic/pivot if I understand correctly. NVC received the approved petition on June 27.

 

We have almost all of our documents ready. My spouse needs to get one more police certificate and also get a blood test proving he's had chicken pox so he's ready for his medical exam.

 

I'm hoping that we're lucky and Pivot works quickly for us as it seems to be working for some folks.

 

It's annoying how you can't pay the Affidavit of Support and Visa fees at the same time.

 

Fingers crossed for a case number and Invoice ID number soon.

Someone here said that pivot cases are taking 8 to 10 weeks for case number, but for some people it has been going considerably faster (mine took about three weeks). So I think you should get your police certificate as soon as you can in case you're one of the lucky people who gets a case number quickly, especially since you had a reason to expedite. It's actually not annoying to have to pay the two fees separately. There are two separate payments but they can be done just a minute or two apart; you just have to insert your bank details twice. Mine were processed at the same time and they took about four business days to process. Good luck!

Yes, my husband is going to get his police certificate this coming week. We’ll be ready.

 

I didn’t realize that about the payments. I thought you couldn’t do them close together based on what I read. Good to know you can. Thanks!

Recently it's has been the other way round. Presently,pivot cases are now taking 3-5weeks to get case/Invoice numbers

@selsiii @Sugarlegetiti thank you so much.. @wendykay thank you too. When you clock 8weeks start calling NVC twice daily,I think it helps/speeds up the process
