Police Cert for only 4 months??

[freetv 7]

My fiancee lived in a country for only 4 months an then moved to another country, however the embassy is now requesting a police cert from that 4 month stay in The Netherands. I know they shouln't ask for it......... but is there anyway I can get that Cert from a third country? Is it even possible for me to go and pick it up for her? Does anyone have contact info for The Netherlands? I don't know anything about Dutch Police Cert. Thanks in advance

The consulate needs to do this not your fiancee... See below. The consulate needs to be reminded of the procedure for the Netherlands

Police Records

Available. Police records can only be requested for immigrant visa applicants by the United States Consulate or Embassy where the applicant's case is being processed. Any certificate presented directly by applicants cannot be accepted. To request a police record, the visa processing post should send an email to the Consulate General in Amsterdam at ImmigrantVisasAMS@state.gov. The request must include:

Applicant's full name(s) including aliases:

Date, city/town and country of birth;

Complete address of last residence in The Netherlands.

The Consulate General in Amsterdam may need up to 15 working days to obtain the certificate, provided there is no derogatory information concerning the applicant. If there is derogatory information it may take up to five weeks.

The certificate, which is in the Dutch language, covers criminal investigations only. Criminal records are expunged after a number of years, depending on the offense, following termination of the case (i.e., after service of any prison sentence) provided no other offense is committed in the interim. Police records may, therefore, not constitute a full summary of criminal records. Applicants with a criminal history can obtain their own conviction record from the sentencing court.

These certificates may be used only in processing immigrant visa applications and may not be given to the applicant or to any private individual. The visa applicant may not be informed of the source of any derogatory information contained in the police certificate.

not only a US government website, but the actual Department of State's website which is what department the consulates belong to

It is needed to prove you have no criminal record, and if you do have one, you need to submit information about that record (ie police reports and such) and have a waiver done up (if your Consulate allows this) to submit at the time of the interview.

she only needs a police cert if she lived at a country for 6 months are longer...

"Police certificates are required from every visa applicant aged 16 years or over for each locality of the country of the applicant‹s nationality or current residence where the applicant has resided for at least six months since attaining the age of sixteen. Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided for at least one year.

Generally, application for such certificates should be made directly to police authorities in the district in which you resided. If you have any questions about where or how to apply for police certificates in other countries, you may communicate directly with the U.S. consular office processing your visa applications."
