Police Certificate After Spending Time In New Zealand?

[Matt&Court 0]

Hi there, 

 

I’m hoping someone can help me out with confirming what I need next?

 

I require a police certificate from 8 months I spent in NZ, living with my fiancé on a working holiday visa.

 

I am UK resident, filing for a k-1 in London. 

 

When looking for what to do I can’t find a definitive answer as the NZ police checks are automatically part of their K-1 process.

 

As such, I have applied to the Ministry of Justice for a Record Check and filed a Section 14 Vetting Form from Police NZ.

 

If anyone could confirm whether either of these are what’s needed, what happens next or just more information, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards, 

 

Matt

I hope someone has their personal experience, but this is what I found. Or you might want to give them a call The US Embassy in UK.

Police Certificates

To obtain a New Zealand Police clearance certificate for U.S. Immigration, you must download and sign a Section 14 ‘overseas’ form available on the New Zealand Police Vetting Service website, http://www.police.govt.nz/advice/businesses-and-organisations/vetting/vetting-process-visas.

When you complete the form, please indicate that the criminal record is being requested for the United States of America and reference the three-letter ten-digit case number (e.g. ACK followed by 10 numbers for Auckland) or A#.  The postal address is U.S. Consulate General, Immigrant Visa Section, Private Bag 92022, Auckland, New Zealand.

You should email the completed request form to the Police Vetting Service at vetting@police.govt.nz."

Thanks for the reply. I gathered the same thing from that so have already done so as of last Friday. Sadly no response so far, nor do I know what happens next.

 

I will likely call the embassy tomorrow if I hear nothing overnight. 

 

I’d love to speak to someone with the same experience because it seems so unclear.

Hi,

 

I have the same enquiry. Did you ever receive an answer from the embassy about this?
