Police Certification Question

[gordec 0]

So we are in a difficult situation because my fiancee has lived in Germany since 1992 but went to Beijing and did 4 years of high school at a German international high school. Now our 129F is approved, and files have been sent to Frankfurt, the only thing we are missing is the Police Certificate for those years she was in China. Unfortunately, her whole family is in Europe, to get the Police Certificate, she has to fly to China just for that.

Anyone knows how strict are the embassy about the Police Certificate? It almost seem unreasonable for her to fly to China just for that when she lived in Germany for so long. If this an absolute requirement, has people found ways to obtain it without traveling? Thanks

I have no idea if there is another way to get a Chinese police certificate but I have NEVER heard of a case where they did not require police certificates for all the places that a person has lived. I assume that you put the Chinese addresses on the G-325A already in which case, you really have to get that police certificate. I'm sure others from China can help you though as I can't imagine that there is no other way to get a Chinese police certificate!

I would suggest requesting a police certificate from the nearest Chinese Consulate. I'm sure they can arrange it. Although it might take a month or 2.
