Need help !! police records from different countries

[Ril 0]

Hello,

I'm a moroccan citizen and I have a question to ask regarding the K1 visa ( fiancé visa).

From August 2012 to June 2013, I was an exchange student in the US. I was completing my MBA, and during this year I met and fell in love with my fiancé and we decided to get married.

So I came back to Morocco, and now we are starting the process of a K1 visa application. However there seems to be an issue: according to what i read in the consulate's website, I need to get a police record of all countries I have lived in for more than 6 months since I was 16.

I have studied ( university ) in Switzerland, France, Mexico and the US.

Do I really need to go to all those countries to get the police record. This seems to be very time consuming and expensive

Thank you for your attention and your help

All of the countries are different. Follow the instructions in the reciprocity tables under "police certificates" for every country you need a certificate from.

Example: Under Switzerland:

Police and Prison Records

Available. There is, upon demand, an extract from the Swiss central police records, known as "Auszug aus dem Schweizerischen Zentralstrafregister/Extrait du casier judiciaire/Estratto del Casellario Giudiziario," which shows whether any person, of Swiss or other nationality, has been convicted of a crime in Switzerland. The document is issued by the Schweizerisches Zentralpolizeibuero/Bureau Central Suisse de police/Ufficio Centrale Svizzero di Polizia at 3003 Bern (Bundesrain 20). The fee for this service is 20 Swiss Francs for each copy.

Information is also available on the following website: www.ofj.admin.ch.

Happy hunting!

Thank you

But I have read somewhere that for the K1 visa it's only for countries where i have lived for a year, which would remove basically 3 countries including switzerland.
So does anyone know if it's 6 months or one year ?

The requirements are here

For countries other than your home country the requirements appear to be (1) year. You need to confirm this with the embassy.
