Police report/certificate requirement

[sma1600 0]

I’m currently going through the K-1 fiancé visa process and could really use some clarification from others who have recently gone through this, especially anyone with a beneficiary in Pakistan.

 

My fiancée is in Pakistan and recently received an email from usvisascheduling.com with instructions for her upcoming interview. One part of the instructions has me a bit confused. It states:

“If you are older than 16 years of age, police certificates are not required from Pakistan. However, an original police certificate is required from any country that you resided in for more than 6 months.”

 

This is where I’m unsure. I was always under the impression that a police certificate from Pakistan is a required document that must be brought to the interview. Now this message seems to suggest otherwise, which is throwing me off a bit.

 

I just want to make sure we don’t miss anything important that could delay or negatively impact the visa process. Has anyone here recently gone through a K-1 interview in Pakistan and can confirm whether the police certificate is actually required or not?

 

For those who have already completed the interview:

• Did you bring a police certificate from Pakistan?
• Were you asked for it during the interview?
• Did anyone proceed without one and still get approved?

Any recent experiences or official clarification would really help ease my confusion. I’d rather be overprepared than risk an issue at the interview.

Thank you

There is your answer.  Use the email as a written reference at the interview.
