Police certificate / NOA1

[ssica_molanay 0]

I have read many of you mention this "Police Cerificate" can you tell me what this and do we both need it and when we should get i got my NOA1 just last week.Would really love to know what my next step should be. Should i wait for them to send a request or start to get things ready and if so what kind of things should i prepare i know i need anything to do with my finances but how soon is to soon to get these papers and also what should he have ready there. I asked him to have an account so we could save money in it and show we are ready for when he gets here. I guess i'm just worried because neither one of us makes much money i know i need a co-sponsor which will be my sister. i'm sorry if this on here somewhere there is so much information available on this forum its confusing a little to me anyways so i figured i would just ask

After you get your NOA2, your case will be sent to the NVC then to your Consulate. The Consulate will then send you a packet saying what certificates/forms will be needed at the interview. Normally I believe that the police certificates are valid for 3 months. I would wait until your case has been sent to the Consulate or until you receive the packet to gather those things. Also it is a good idea to get the I-134 notarized with all supporting documentation no more than 3 months before the interview.

My fiance starting gathering all of his certificates and such after our case got to the Consulate in Morocco then he got them translated into Enlgish right after.

Good luck!

It's best to wait for the packet 3... because the police certificate has validity dates.
