what is the police certificate that you have to get called in Vietnamese?

Is it "Ly Lich So 2"?

Lý Lịch Tư Pháp số 2 = Police Record # 2.

I believe this doc is valid for one year and takes about 2 wks.

It used to be good for 6 months.

Police record 1 expires in 6 months.

Police record 2 expires in 12 months.

You need to obtain the police record 2.

Thanks. I don't remember 2 police records just one.

Police record 1 expires in 6 months.

Police record 2 expires in 12 months.

NOT good for 1 year!! There is a lot of confusion about this. When my wife went to get her police report she specifically asked this exact question. They said NO it is NOT valid for 1 year. They said she could use it for 6 - 8 months. Even they could not give an exact time that the document is valid. My wife got hers in July and it expired February. Our interview was in March. We only realized at the time of the interview it was over 6 months old. We thought they would request a new one. Even though we passed the interview my wife went directly to make a new police report in case they realized it was expired and requested a new one before they issued the visa. Thank God they did not request a new one. So the US Consulate may accept a police report over 6 months it seems but they clearly tell you when you get the document that is is valid for 6 months. She went twice to get this report and both times was told 6 months.

That is what I remember also. I also remember the consulate giving out blue slips for new police certificates.

The consulate web site used to say 6 months for the police record but now it says they will except them 12 months from date of issue. I noticed the change as I had printed the document requirements out when I filed the I-130. It said 6 months on my print out but now it says 12 months on the site.

So sounds like there is a discrepancy between the Vietnamese authority and the US consulate on the accepted validity Of expiration. I can see where the confusion is coming from then.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Wow. Well the consulate accepts 1 year now then that is better. That is a big change for them.

My wife's Police Record Number 2 DOES indicate that it will expire in 12 months from the date of issuing.

[Anonymous885 44]

I still have the old instruction package ( November 2013 ) for K-1 that does say 12 months from the date of issue.

I found other old instruction package ( Jan. 2011) for K-1 that also says 12 months from the date of issue.

For K-1, it does say that for a long time not just recently. It might be different on CR1 visa.

It is how long the consulate accepts them for not the certificate itself.
