First of all this site is very informative and helpful. I would suggest and encourage everyone to post their experience and knowledge here and support other members.

I have a question. If a beneficiary visited to another country when she was 2 years old then moved back to her home country approximately a year later , does she needs to get a police certificate from that country? I know that some embassies require to obtain a police certificate if you resided after age 16, and other embassies don't mention the age requirement at all, but require a police certificate if you live over a year.

Welcome to the forum.

Suggest that you follow the directions of the interviewing embassy/consulate.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

Thank you. I definitely will do, this topic is in reference to K-1 visa. This particular Embassy requires: "Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided for at least one year." Intrinsically two year old child will not have any record, and she will not be able to obtain a police certificate from the country that she visited when she was 2. What should we do...?

Thanks. The confusion is due to the invitation letter we have received from the Embassy, the letter does not mention "Over 16 Only".

Police Certificates: Applicants are required to submit a police certificate from the country of the applicant’s nationality and current residence, if residence in such country exceeds six months. Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided for at least one year. Regardless of the length of residence, a police certificate must also be obtained from the police authorities of any place where the applicant has been arrested for any reason (except for the US).

Source: US Embassy

  • Police certificates from your present country of residence and all countries where you have lived for six months or more since age 16 (Police certificates are also required for accompanying children age 16 or older)
  • Source:travel.state.gov

Any other point of view...?
