Police Certificate - Consular Processing (Hong Kong)

[starwars82 4]

Hi all,

 

I've been living in the USA since I was a child and never left the country until recently I flew back to Hong Kong (my birth place) to do consular processing. So when I submitted my documents to NVC I didn't submit a police certificate from Hong Kong because based on ustraveldocs it says:

Quote

1. If you hold a Hong Kong passport or document of identity (i.e. have the right of abode in Hong Kong) and have resided in Hong Kong for 6 months or more when you were 16 years or older, you must provide a Hong Kong police certificate. The certificate must cover the entire period of your residence in Hong Kong.

So based on this statement, I did not submit a police certificate from HK because again I've been living in the US since I was a child and so I did not live in HK for 6+ months after 16 years old. I got DQ'd so I thought everything would be okay.

 

My interview at the consulate is in two weeks and I'm afraid whoever interview me will ask for a police certificate from HK. Do I just tell them about this clause from the document I found on ustraveldocs? Also, I was never able to obtain it because one of the criteria is to get a personalized checklist from the embassy telling me I need a police certificate, which I never received. Am I safe to assume everything is going to be okay assuming I have every other necessary document?
