SOUTH AFRICA!

Does anyone know how I can contact the Jo'burg Embassy? I need to know how long a police report is good for. My lawyer told me a year but everyone else is saying 6 months!

For consulate purposes the PC is typically valid for up to one year... but by all means verify...

South Africans that reside, work, or travel abroad require Police Clearance Certificates for purposes such as residence permission, court requirements, or securing employment. A Police Clearance is obtained by lodging a set of finger prints at the CRC where upon a Police Clearance Certificate is issued which indicates if the individual has a criminal record. Fingerprints are compared to the SAPS criminal record database. If a criminal record is recorded, the criminal record will be indicated on the Police Clearance or Police Clearance Certificate. South African Police Clearances are only issued by the CRIMINAL RECORD CENTRE in Pretoria. Police Clearance Certificates are valid for a period of 12 months. Police Clearances will only be re-issued within 6 months of the issue of the Police Clearance Certificate and the re-issued Police Clearance will only be valid for the remainder of the 12 months from the issue of the initial Police Clearance Certificate.

Welcome to VJ Siona

Your boyfriend would have filed the I-129F petition not the K1. The K1 is the visa that is approved and issued in SA once the petition has been approved by USCIS.

Have you read the guides at the top of the page?

South Africa is no different to other countries as far as the procedure goes.
