Did anybody need to get a police certificate from China from overseas because they lived there for more than 6 months? how did you do it and how long did it take?

Thanks

sorry, saw another similar posting too late

How long were you in China? If less than 1 year then I believe you do not need to get on from there.

Here is what the state department FAM states:

9 FAM 42.65 N4.1 From Country of Current
Residence or Country of Nationality (Canada)
(TL:VISA-185; 02-26-1999)
An applicant must present a police certificate, if obtainable, from his or her
country of current residence or nationality, if residence in such country
exceeds six months

9 FAM 42.65 N4.2 From Country of Previous
Residence (China)
(TL:VISA-185; 02-26-1999)
Police certificates are required from countries of previous residence, if
residence there was for more than one year

Is it necessary to get a police report from when you are 16 yr old until now for the P3 packet? This would mean you need one from where you attended college. Is it difficult to get one from cities different from your hukow? (sp?)

The one police report will cover all of China.
