Hello! I am a nurse and i will be having my US embassy interview soon for EB3 visa category. My problem is that I worked in Qatar as a temporary covid nurse from april 14, 2021-october 13 2021  (5 months and 29 days). During our stay, our employer never issued Qatar residency and we were sent home when the covid cases are getting less. I am very anxious that they might ask for police clearance. With my non resident status in qatar, i know i am not eligible to apply for qatar police clearance.What should I do?

I don't think you spent enough time there to trigger the need for a police certificate per DOS rules.   It was less than 6 months.  I don't think there will be an issue.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Thank you. But what really is the threshold? Is it 6 months or 12 months

If you are not currently living there, it is 12 months.
