Police clearance

[sarahtr7 0]

Hello everyone,

knowing how long CSC is and eventually the NVC, I want to be as prepared as possible when I receive my approval and need to send back all the docs for DS-230. I understand that the applicant needs to supply police clearances from countries in which they lived in for more than twelve months. Since I lived in England for 18 months I will need to supply NVC with a police clearance, however, from what I understand, the clearance is only valid for 40 days from the date it is issued (I could be wrong here). If anybody has any knowledge or advice when I should order my police clearance or know how long it takes for it to arrive, it would be extremely helpful.

And we will be getting married in Ethiopia so what i need to know is does she need to get a police cert from the country she is working in.

Im not too sure if it is different for your country but in the UK you have to provide one for anywhere you have lived for 6months or more.. So I guess the question is.. has she worked there for longer than 6 months..

Please note: This is my understanding of the requirement for the UK, this may be different for your country

For the Philippines specifically, there is only 1 police clearance needed called NBI clearance. When I first read the above (#2) on the embassy website (I think), I panicked thinking my wife would have to travel to the other city that she lived in while going to school to get this clearance.
