Police Records

[karenrobert831 0]

On the USCIS website, it mentions needing police records of everywhere my foreign fiancee has lived since she was 16. No where on the Visa Journey K-1 guidelines for the I-129f does it mention collecting police records, so I am assuming that she will need them for the interview. She lived in the UK for all but the past 6 years, where she has been living in Spain. Will she need to go to Spain to get police records? Also when she lived in UK she lived in many different places in England and even in Scotland for a few months. Is she going to need to go to each of these places to collect a police report or is there any way for her to get one from some central location because every she has lived has been in the EU? Anyone with experience in this, we would appreciate the advice, because if its going to take time to collect these things she will want to get started ASAP. Thanks!

Moving this to consulate embassy forum, police records are needed for the imnterview, not when filing the I-129F.

If you are a former legal TCN currently living outside of Spain, contact the consulate of your nationality in Spain. (Example: Italians should contact the Italian Consulate in Madrid). If Spain does not have a reciprocal agreement with this country, a police certificate is not available. A list of countries having reciprocal agreements with Spain is not available. Applicants must check with each individual consulate regarding their country's reciprocal agreement status.
