My wife, from the Philippines, is applying for a CR-1 visa and everything is in order except for the Korean Police Report. We simply failed to get one. STUPID on my part.

At any rate, the consular officer told my wife the Korean Police Report needed to contain three specific statements (one of which was "expunged records"). But when we went to the Korean police station, they gave us the record and failed to give us our visa instructions back.

So, my question is, what three specific pieces of information does the Korean Police Report need to have on it?

Does anyone know???

That would be best, as most questions asked here are geared for the PI Or email this question directly to the immigrant visa unit in Manila

Try the search tool.I did find this:

Where is your fiancee now? South Korea, or in the Philippines? If no longer in S. Korea then forget about the police certificate from there, you need to be physically in S. Korea to obtain them.

What I know is that the police record you get from the Korean Police is standard and it is supposed to be the same from place to place, you're not supposed to have to ask for anything special. I'm going to try to link to a photo of a standard Korean police report accompanied by a translation:

%EB%B2%94%EC%A3%84_viva_eva.jpg?type=w2

Long story short, we have a complicated case. We've been at this for nearly 5 years. You can read our story here. I highly recommend our attorney Laurel Scott, as well as attorneys Laura Fernandez and Lizz Cannon .

Filed I-130 via CSC in Feb 2008. Petition approved June 2008. Consular interview in Mexico, Oct 2008, visa denied, INA 212a6cii. We allege improper application of the law in this case.

2012, started over in Seoul: I-130 filed DCF on 7/2, I-130 approved 8/8, Medical at Yonsei Severance 11/20, IR1 appointment in November 2012.

CRBA filed 1-3-13 at Seoul for our daughter

I agree I've got a police certificate two times since last year. It's standard. You may write how it is called in Korean and go to the police station. Get it translated.

Good luck

I take it you wife is actually physically present in S. Korea. Otherwise, no police report would be available to her. Here are the State Dept. Instructions.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9223 Select Country

Police Records

Korean National Police Certificate (Crime-Investigation History Report: Bomjoi-Soosa Kyongreok Johoi Hoiboseo) is available to visa applicants of any nationality who are physically present in South Korea. The new KNPC now includes all serious crimes since 1945, regardless of expungement benefits under Korean law, and misdemeanors for five years, according to the Individual Information Protection Law of March 2003.

Applicants presently in Korea: Foreign nationals, regardless of visa status, and Korean citizens must apply in person at any local police station. The KNP checks non-Koreans according to the requestor's Korean alien registration card or passport. Korean citizens must show a Korean identity card with the Korean citizen's unique, lifetime Korean identification number, which is found on Korean national identity cards and Korean passports adjacent to the applicant's name. KNP processing is no fee and takes less than one hour. The new KNPC bears a red ink half inch square stamp on the bottom containing the Korean characters for National Police. It is issued in Korean only and applicants must attach a complete English translation, certified as true and correct by anyone competent in Korean and English, for the visa interview. A simple computer printout of criminal records is issued with the Korean annotation for information only, has no red ink stamp and is not a KNPC for visa purposes.

Applicants outside of Korea: Unavailable.

I obtained my CR1/IR1 visa through the US embassy in Seoul.

This website above explained everything, in what you have to do. I simply printed the information out that I got on the website, and took it to the police station. They quickly printed and changed my first police clearance that was not including expunged records.

That was it.

I got my visa. They needed the korean police check translated into English, so just remember that.
