Overseas Police Clearance Certificate

[Grace S. 1]

Hello everyone. I am preparing for my documents for the NVC stage. I have lived and worked in The UAE and The Philippines years ago.

I am a UK citizen and has been residing in the UK for the last 8 years. I have visited The UAE and The Philippines on several occasions but only for short holidays. 

Can I submit previously issued police clearance from these countries and just submit a recent (valid) UK ACRO police clearance

for the NVC stage requirements or should I secure a newly issued police certificates from my previous countries of residence? Please advise. Thank you.

It depends on how old they are and if you've been back to the country since then. 

 

The criteria is clearly set out on the usual website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html

 

What kind of case is this, are you being petitioned by a spouse?
