Resubmitted expired documents to NVC for IR 1

[JohnnyLs 0]

Hey everyone!

 

We're currently in the middle of a IR 1 application, but due to delays some tax forms were out of date. We resubmitted, but by the time we heard back, my passport was expired and took a long time to review. Resubmitted, but have yet to hear back. In the interim between submitting the renewed passport and getting a reply, the police check is approaching 12 months since being received which we should have noticed when uploading the passport, but alas. The police check was previously accepted, but I imagine when they review the case they will request a new one. I anticipate review next week based on waiting times on the NVC website, but will uploading the new police check now add us to the back of the queue? It seems as though uploading new documents to the portal changes your submission date to the date of upload, as that's what happened with the passport. Are they likely to take a good while to review the new police check?

 

Should I just wait for a response and be ready to resubmit? We had the petition approved in 2019 but due to covid and some employment situations, we opted to delay the process until late last year. Really don't want to add another 3 months onto the application after they review and request a new police check x

For US immigration purposes, police certificates are valid for 2 years from date of issue -- https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html

Thanks a lot for your reply! I had read elsewhere that UK police certificates expire after 12 months, but this is helpful

Police certificate validity for US immigration used to be 12 months.  But due to COVID-related delays in visa processing, the Department of State recently extended it to 2 years.
