Juarez Police Clearance

[Journey2Juarez 1]

Hello. My husband (who has been in the United States since he was 15, now 33) received his waiver approval and NVC in Juarez sent email that they received all documents and we are waiting for a appointment date now.

 

our lawyer advised us that we wouldn’t need a Mexican police clearance from Mexico because he left before he was 16 but she wanted to be cautious and told us to get one anyway. We sent hubby’s mother a power of attorney certificate and she got it for us same day.

 

Now, our lawyer said that we will not need the police clearance. But I have been coming across articles that says he will need it. Any clue if he does or not? Should we get it regardless? We are in Michigan, any idea where to start? 

Thanks so much for the help beforehand, we truly appreciate it. This community is amazing.

He should not need a Mexican Police Clearance.  If he did he would need it from the state or federal police.    CDJ does not accept locality police certificates.

 

What police certificate did the attorney obtain?  I've never heard of a power of attorney being used to get a Mexican Certificate.

He did get a Mexican state police clearance (chihuahua) He was told by the Mexican consulate that a power of attorney could be used. It worked. His mother obtained it on his behalf.  But my question is does he need one from the U.S?

Yes. This is correct. Mexican consulate gave him all paperwork necessary to send to his mother.

Yes a relative can get it with a power of attorney.   It sounded like the attorney was getting it.

 

He does not need one from the US
