Update: They didn’t ask for it. All went well.

I guess I just have to find out by hearing what they have to say about this during the interview. Getting a police clearance is time consuming process, especially when you are not residing in that country. A premium service too needs time.

Hello members, I received an automated email from the embassy prior to our immigration interview in a few days stating that my police clearance certificates have expired among other document required. I currently live in the UAE and have previously lived in India and Bahrain. The immigration website also mentions that a new police certificate is required if all of the following conditions are met: 1. I am more than 16 years old; 2. The police certificate was obtained more than two years ago; 3. I still live in the country that issued the certificate. Since I currently reside in the UAE, I can provide a new police certificate from here. However, do I also need to obtain new certificates from India and Bahrain, even though I no longer live in those countries and have only visited and stayed briefly ( less than a month) after obtaining my original certificates? How would this impact my visa process timeline if new certificates are required?
