I am brazilian but lived in Liberia twice. In 2007 I stayed 6 Months (from 23-May-07 to 11/31/2007) and in 2008 10 Months (from 6-Feb-08 to 2-Nov-08).

Do I need to have a police certificate from this Country since I never lived more then 12 Months consecutively?

For k-1 you'll need a police certificate from all countries where you lived for six months or more after that age of 16.

thanks but it is CR1.

The NVC says:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html#police

if I lived in a different country for more than 12 months....

however 12 Months consecutively?

The DS-230 form asks for residence over 6 months & although you didnt live 12 months consecutively, I would still supply the police certificate. You will have to provide the information that you have lived at another residence so include the police certificates for it so there will not be any more delays.

It sounds easy. However It requires me to buy a 4000 US ticket to Africa. Go personally to the Police and have the risk to have the certificate denied since I lived on board of a ship and enter with and invitation letter to missionaries and the police may not even have any records of me. (and do not answer the phone when I call).

And... the DS230 says 12 Months abrod NOT 6 Months.

Just to make it clear...

after 12 years of war...Liberia has NO post service yet. How someone is supposed to trust that they will keep police records!!! I think it would be a "Mission Impossible" to get these papers!

So here is my question again...

however 12 Months consecutively? yes or no? anyone knows???

In this site you find instructions as to how you can obtain the police records for Liberia: http://travel.state....5.html?cid=9644

You may consider asking your employer at the time to intervene and help you get the document. (just an idea)

I believe the residence abroad is not necessarily restricted to consecutive months else chances are they would have spelled it out.

I agree with you. I am asking my employer to help. However it is a ship and it never docked again in Liberia after 2008. So they do not have any one there.

Here is the link you sent me... not very nice?

Applicants not resident in Liberia can request that their biographic information and fingerprints be sent to the Liberia National Police via the police headquarters of their home country, however, in practice, these requests are rarely completed.

I noticed that too... Sounds like a very efficient system!

Just out of curiosity... Were you working on the ship during the time you were in Liberia? Were you living on the ship as well? Were you ever processed as a foreign resident in Liberia?

Hi

I have the same question.

I studied in Cyprus for 4 years, but never stayed there for more than 6-9 months consecutively.

Now NVC has asked me to produce a Police Clearance for Cyprus. The problem is, where i live (Saudi Arabia) there is no Cyprus Embassy, only a consulate who said they may not be able to get it, but they will try.

So, i wait. :help:
