Police records

[Aghad 0]

Hi everybody ! 

  I had lived in 2 countries and I have police certificate from one, but I have to travel to second country  to get police records and it takes time and may i can't get visa up there. 

So is dismissing such documents could effect to my case??

Did you check the official department of state pages on that country on how to get police certificates from out of country, and if it lists any exceptions? If no exceptions, then no police certificate means no visa.

choose the country then scroll down to the police certificate section.

I lived in Saudi Arabia . I checked the site you gave and it is written : 

 

 

Police certificates are valid for one year.
 

Certified Copies Available: Certified copies are not available, but police departments can issue new certificates.

Alternate Documents: There are no alternate documents.

Exceptions: Police clearances are unavailable for third country nationals who no longer reside in the Kingdom.

Well, there’s your exception (as you are obviously a third country national). 

 

Regarding your first post here, you say 2 countries, but don’t you mean 3, with KSA, Afghanistan and UAE?

Have I print the exception and show it to the officer in interview or send it scanned to KCC ?

Do both. They should know, but it will not hurt to have the printout.

I suggest that you print off the page with the not available to "third country national" in the event that your interviewing CO isn't familiar with this caveat.

Well, the interviewing CO is supposed to refer to the same tables for countries they are not familiar with, but I’d agree on printing out a copy just to pre-empt questions.

I've seen a case where it was the beneficiary word agaist the CO and since she didn't have PC from a country that you are unable to secure one without being in country she was denied. CO didn't bother looking it up to verify. Isolated case but it did happen. Sucks, I know.

I’ve also seen cases where people swear up and down that you can’t get a PCC from outside the country, but you actually can. So interested to know if the case you mention was one of genuine unavailability, and if so why the applicant didn’t ask the CO to look it up, as the only way she would know that for sure would have been if she had checked it in the reciprocity tables first.

You do not have to submit police records from KSA if you no longer live there

There is no, zero possibility of getting them and our consulates know that.
