Police certificate

[wind88 0]

Hi all. We are currently preparing the documents necessary for filing our CR-1. My questions are:

1. When did you submitted police certificate? Was is during the interview day or do you mail it prior to the release of interview date?

2. Im in Qatar for work for over a year now and it would take me some time to get one here. We got married in Manila. Does it mean I have to get a police certificate from the Philippines and Qatar?

thanks in advance for those who will answer.

1. You submit one copy of the police certificate at the NVC stage of processing. Retain another certified copy for your medical check, as you will need it there too.

2. You need the police certificate from anywhere you have lived in the past year.

Good luck!

Thanks @degreening !

Not a problem. Very good luck! You should start a timeline to keep track of your processing stats and to get a good idea of when things will be ready by: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/intro.php

Not quite correct on the second part I'm afraid.

You must obtain, if available, a police certificate for any country that you've lived in for 12 months or more since age 16. I have yet to hear of a police certificate being needed for a medical.

Go to the reciprocity table on the NVC website to find out how to get the police certificate for each country you require one from.

Hrm that's interesting and the first I've heard of it but it must be specific to Kingsbridge. I know I did not, and nor has any other Canadian have to, bring a police certificate to a medical. I have not heard of other countries having to do it either but it would be interesting to find out if there are others.

Mostly, however, I was correcting your other little bit of information about places lived in the last year only needing a police certificate. It is anyplace you have lived, where available, for 12 months or more, since you were 16.

Yeah, it's weird. I think I heard that it was for any prior drug convictions so they'd know whether to do urine tests.

Well Knightsbridge is the only one in the UK that does it, so it must be standard for UK. Wonder why we're the only ones? Interesting!
