Hey everyone!
My fiance and I are filling out the paperwork for packet 3. I just had a question about form DS-156K.
It says in a section on the form:

"The following documents must be attached in order to apply for a fiance(e) nonimmigrant visa:
Your Birth Certificate
Your Marriage Certificate (if any)
Divorce Decree (if any)
Death Certificate of Spouse (if any)
Evidence of Engagement to your Fiance(e)
Birth Certificate of all Children listede in number 5
Evidence of Financial Support
Police Certificates"


DO these things all have to be attached to packet 3? I was told they're not needed until I go to my interview in London. We've already applied for the visa, been approved by CSS, went through NVC/DOS, and now our case is in London waiting on our P3. PLEASE, if anyone knows, please tell us. Are these things needed now for Packet 3, or later at the interview?

My daughter will be 16 in May and she will not need a police certificate as she wont have been in the uk for 6 months before we get our interview ....But , checking the Medical guide lines it says police certificates for over 16,s ....How strict are they if shes only just turned 16 ? I should be getting our case number any day and booking an appointment , how long does it take for the NVC to send out the case numbers once youve been approved , got ours on the 17th and how far ahead are the medical appointments for London ......Can anyone help ?

Ive just check and we have been approved ! ! .... im still in shock ! !

California seem to be moving at last . We were September 12th .

We contacted our Senator last week ..... i really recommend you guys do too .

I really do wish you all good luck also ........ this has been the most stressful 7 months ever .......

I thought that too , i would have expected them to say call back next week or you have a couple of months ? Maybe they have changed the script !

Yep ... Ive sent off for police report this week , have to get one from Spain too as i spent time there , got the kids passports renewed as they expire in September and checked all our vaccinations are up to date ..... what else have i forgot ?

7 months and counting ...I see the california office has changed from 6 months to 7 1/2 average .

We filled on September 12th and was told last week we had at least another 56 days to wait ! we thought we,d timed it right to get married on August 25th which is our anniversary ...will be lucky if i get there for Christmas ! ! ! ! This process is so depressing

One other question .... I am a UK citizen and i moved to Spain in 1992 , i moved back to the UK in October 2010 ...will in need any police reports from Spain ?

Thanks for the info ...alot different from what my local police station told me . I think i will call the embassy tomorrow too

I would just get a police certificate for your daughter to be safe. Can't you get one the same time you get yourself one?

For the sake of just 10 pounds its worth getting her one , might save time later ! Thanks .

The police certificates are needed only after the age of 16 from my understanding. You do not need police certificates for them.

But my daughter will be 16 by the time i go for the interview ...not 100% sure when the interview is yet mind .

I have read that i need a police report for when i go to the interview .... do my kids need one too ? my son is 14 ( 15 in November ) and my daughter is 15 ( 16 in May ) ... Also is this form the Data Protection Form ?(Subject Access Application Form that costs 10 pounds ? )...... im a Sept 12th 2012 and getting very fed up with the wait ....
