Police Certification question

[Justinseattle 0]

My wife was in the US with student VISA since  March 2016. Then we got married in 2017 and went back to China for wedding in Feb 2018 and not knowing that once left the US her student visa auto expires. Upon return, my wife was put into detention center for no VISA in Feb. 2018.

 

Question: 

1) Does she need a police certification from the US?  I read from the NVC site below that US police certificates is not needed, so my wife doesn't need to get US police certification?

2) My wife got a police certification back in January 2018, the interview is likely be in April or March. would the January certification suffice?

Note: Present and former residents of the United States do NOT need to submit any U.S. police certificates.

 

 

Thank you!

"Police certificates expire after one year, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued. If at the time of your interview the following three items are all true, you must bring a new police certificate to your visa interview:

• You are more than 16 years old;
• The police certificate was obtained more than one year ago; and
• You still live in the country that issued the certificate."
