Hi,

 

I am the beneficiary spouse applying for the IR/CR1 visa and we are currently preparing documents to submit to the NVC.

 

According to the information on this website: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/collect-and-submit-forms-and-documents-to-the-nvc/step-5-collect-supporting-documents.html it states you are required to submit police certificates from countries you have resided in for more than 12 months.

 

I grew up and currently live in New Zealand but I lived in Australia for 3 years. I have an old Police Certificate from Australia that is more than 1 year old - can I submit that or do I need a new one?

 

Thank you

If you have not lived in Australia since you obtained that report, you can use it.
