Still waiting for police clearance!!!

[Crazycatlady 1]

Hello,

 

So my husband has filed his police clearance about a month ago and it is still processing. He is getting it from Qatar.  Does it usually take this long? We are getting frustrated and impatient with the wait.

 

Thanks!

Is your fiancé in Qatar currently or is he applying from another country? If he is there it shouldn't be that long. Mine only took 7 days. If he is in Qatar, he needs to go in himself with the waiting card they give up him, they will not call. That is what I had to do.

 Yes he is in Qatar. He has been back and forth several times. They same the same thing it is in process. Once they said check online. And when he did it told him nothing. We don't understand what the reason it is taking so long. When first turned it in they said 2 weeks. Its been a month. This is ridiculous.

I know in some countries, it takes about 1-2 months to get a police certificate.  I assume you are at the NVC stage.  Looking ahead, you may have to get an updated police certificate for the interview.  Hang in there.

But they last for 6 months why would he need one for the interview if they will have it and other info that we have sent in?

For a number of reasons: for example, if your NVC stage is 6 months or more (I hope it's not), you will need to get another for the interview.  Some consulates require an updated police clearance for the interview; there is a PDF document for each consulate's requirements for the interview: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/interview/prepare.html

 

After our interview was scheduled, we received an email from the consulate with a list of documents to bring in.  There was no mention of an updated police clearance but it is in the list of documents in the instructions for our consulate (link above).  At the interview itself, we were asked for the updated police clearance, and the CR-1 visa expiration date was the date that the (updated) police clearance expired (just over 5 months from interview date).

Police report in Qatar takes only 7 working days. He should go to their office at salwa road, industrial area branch and they will do it for him
