Police Certificate Guidelines for Ukraine/Russia

[jbmail 0]

Ok folks, Maybe someone has been thru this before?

My fiance born In Russia in thge 60's.

moved to Crimea and area ever since. While she was in school years ago, she went back to Russia and shared an apartment with a girl in school for a little time, maybe 8-13 months, who knows?

She went to Police in Ukraine and told them what she needed & about this, they said, Don't worry, we know what you need, Fiance Visa , right, and she said YES. not knowing anything else, she left and just is folowing my lead for instructions on what to do.

Today , after 3 weeks, her girlfriend who works for Police called & said the certificate arrived, but when my fiancee opened this, there was nothing about Russia. She asked them and they told her she'd have to go to Russia to do this as they don't co-operate together(their words)and she would need address in Russia

She does not even remember where she lived back then, only the city, which was small village and 15-20 hours by train and bus.

Now, we have all paperwork done and still have time, but she doesn't know if she SHOULD contact WHO

in Russia, or even if she HAS to, Doesn't have a clue who to contact and what info to tell them , and where to go, or should she stick to just Ukraine Certificate and go to Interview?

Yes, I know what the rules say, but the girl she knows at Police told her (off the record) that not to worry, as no one knows where you were years ago and there was no computers in Russia then??? On another thought, I said to her, WHAT will you tell the CO if he asked if you lived at any other locations, and she said she would just say : NOT for more than a year and I can't remember where as i was living with a student

Any thoughts on this, except the obvious rules we all know and have read? She would be telling the truth, but I can also see the embassy making it hard and telling her to get a Russian Cert anyways? Kiev usually does NOT get fancy or strict with questions, and according to people I know who just had interviews, nothing like this was even talked about , not even simple questions!!!
