Juarez Consulate

[Kimchimex 8]

We in the Juarez consulate group have been discussing whether our Fiancees NEED a police certificate at the interview in Juarez.

Here is what it says on the Dept. of State website; (I underlined & put in BOLD the police info)

Still I am am unsure since the actual instructions from Juarez state this;

5.Persons convicted of a crime must obtain a certified copy of each court recordand any prison record, regardless of the fact that theymay have benefited subsequently from an amnesty, pardon, or other act of clemency.

This sounds like you only need police certificates if you were convicted of something in the past...however below sounds like you need them to prove no police interaction.

Hi, we are waiting for an interview on May 31st for a CR-1 Visa in Juarez. The packet 3 for CR-1 clearly states" "Do not attempt to obtain a police certificate in the following countries: including Mexico" see link.

Hope this helps.

As I said in the other thread, count us as 1. My husband (fiance at the time), did not need a police certificate to get approved for his visa through CDJ.

Thanks chuk686 but we are looking for info on Fiancee visa...looks like the CR-1 is a different type? This is why I am confused...(not the only reason tho' jejeje!

Isn't it silly that they can't word it on the papers so it it simple...

for example;

No need for police certificates unless you are a BIG criminal...

Thanks!!!
