Sent out the I129F on 19 Mar but have been worrying about the time it will take my fiance to get the police certificate. She has lived in both the US and Canada for more than 6 months when she was 16 & 17, so I guess she will need the police certificates from both places and plus the one that she needs from Hong Kong (her home country). So my question is how she could get these certificates when she is residing in HK now? I am also hoping that she only needs the one from HK as it takes much shorter time. Since she is moving to the US, they should have checked her background already, is there any chance that the police certificates from the states and Canada be exempted?

Her family immigrated to Canada when she is 15 and she moved down to LA for school as Canada permanent resident and stayed there for 7-8 months before she moved back to HK. She has the US vistor visa in hand all that time, she also has it now.

Has anyone come across a similar case? Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to VJ, si man! :)

No need for a police certificate from the U.S. If she needs one from Canada (having lived there as a minor), one of our Canadian members may be able to advise you on how to get it.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I don't know if this helps, but I also lived in two countries, and when I called police in Germany they told me to go to the German Embassy in my country and to require my documents there.

I went, filled all the data, and it was delivered to me in 2 days!

So, she just have to go to do Canadian Embassy and ask for the documents.

There is no such thing as a Police Certificate for the US. We here do not have to register with the local police wherever we want to live. We have the freedom to live wherever we want and have no obligation to inform the police.

Canadian embassy will not process a police certificate. She needs to apply online thought the police or the commissionaires and provide finger prints and it can take months to get the police certificate back. Canada specific questions should be asked in the Canada forums section so you can get a proper answer.
