Hi there! yes it is correct, focus on the two bottom links, the department of state link specifically. It says 'for green cards' but also works for K1. Use the following instructions for a police certificate for a K1 from New Zealand:

 

Complete a Section 14 ‘overseas’ form (DOCX 38KB) (Visa Purposes Only) specifying the country you require the visa for, and providing the postal address for the authorities where the result will be sent.

Please also include any special instructions, such as if the result requires Apostille certification and whether this is required to be in English or another language.

Sign the form (this can be done electronically), and send it into the Police Vetting Service at vetting@police.govt.nz(link sends e-mail).

Please attach the completed form as a .pdf, .doc, .docx, or .jpeg format file. We cannot accept .zip attachments or files in .pages format. We may not be able to accept other formats.

 

You will not get the results as they will go straight to the consulate but you will get a confirmation email once they process it, it took me like 2 days to get my confirmation email.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Josh

I replied to my own comment I realized but dumb question can you do a digital signature for this? Or must it be a "inked" signature and scanned in?

@EKT and @JoshandSarah can you confirm exactly what you uploaded to NVC?

We've just been rejected for "not providing an NZ police certificate" by NVC, even though we did the following;

1. Uploaded my Section 14 form and confirmation email from the NZ Police Vetting Service

2. Confirmed with the Auckland Consulate that they issued the certificate to NVC and the Sydney Consulate (where I'll be processed)

 

We're really struggling to work out what we did wrong, and how we can avoid the same thing happening again in 3 months time!

As a K1 you don't upload anything to NVC at that stage but on IR1 you do. You'll have to check with peopl3 who did IR1's as ekt and I both did K1.

Yep makes sense, thanks for the prompt response @JoshandSarah

The hunt for the right solution goes on!
