Hi there, we are February filers, so got a while to go yet, but was just wondering in the meantime if I should get on with organising my Police certificates. Can they take a long time to get? I dont want to leave it untill I get an interview date and then find myself held up waiting for the certificates. Also, do I need one from California? I lived there for about 5 years from 2006 - 2011 on an F1 Visa.

Thaks so much!

The UK Police certificates only take about 10 days to come through, you can if needed get them quicker than that for an extra fee! You have some time to go before you need to think about this unless you have a background that will require you to obtain court records etc (no offense meant). If you are clear I would suggest waiting until you have you NAO2 ... The certificates are only valid for 1 year.

Don't quote me on this and you do need to double check but I don't think you need them for the time you spent in the US ... I'm sure someone else will chime in to clarify what you need to do for time spent in the US

KLB is right, it only takes few days to get Police certificate. But you do need it for medical examination too (you dont need an extra copy, they will just view it and return it back to you on the day). Medical has to be done prior to the embassy interview so keep that in mind. I got mine as soon as we received NOA2.

You dont need police records from US, they do their own checks but you need police records from any other country you lived for more than 12 months since age 16.

Good luck! :thumbs:

It is not where I breathe but where I love that I live.
