Quick question on UK police cert. and looking for advice

[WHITE COW 0]

Hi everyone,

I know this topic is pinned but I noticed that the last question got missed (it was posted in Oct) and I was hoping for some enlightenment soon. :-) I just got the letter from NVC that our K1 fiance packet has been forwarded to the London embassy. We are trying to have everything ready to meet their demands in packet 3 (esp since my man works such long hours its hard for him to get a week day off to complete these little tasks)

I thought I read on this site that the new UK police certificate had to be directly mailed from ACPO to the London embassy. Or can my fiance order the form to be sent to himself and then he could forward it to the embassy? Does it go in with packet 3?

Can any one recommend anything else we can do ahead of time?

Any advice or comments would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

You don't send the police certificate to the embassy - you take it with you to the interview. You order the police certificate from ACPO and have it sent to your home address. All you send back to the embassy are the forms they ask for, those being:

DS-156

DS-156k

DS-230

You don't need to send DS-157 cuz you're a bird.

Sorry, I misread your post. If it's your fiance applying, he DOES need to send in DS-157 (assuming he's under 45 years old).

LOL Thanks for the quick answer. I am an American bird (with the sprit and heart of a cow) who is flying her chap over from the UK. :-) So he would need the DS-157, right?

Oppps- just caught your rely- Thanks :-)

The spit of a cow?

Oh I do apologize. I just get silly when it's sad ####### x-factor time. It's Damian and Shaz's fault.
