I see dead purple

Many thanks, Nich-Nick-I will do that, and will keep all official correspondence I have received on the subject. It's encouraging to hear that others have succeeded, despite unobtainable police certs.

Thanks again!

Greetings to All,

I am new to the forum, but am so impressed by the depth of discussion, support and information. My apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place but, my question is: I am a British citizen engaged to a USC, and we are filing a K1 Visa application. I know that I will need a police clearance from China, as I lived in Guangzhou for just over 5 years and in Beijing for 3. I have my police cert from Beijing, but information about how to go about getting one from Guangzhou is utterly confusing. I mostly had F visas in the beginning and one Z. I also read that police certs are not issued for F and L visas and neither the British Consulate in Guangzhou nor the Chinese Consulate in London have provided too much practical insight. I spoke to an immigration lawyer who told me that I could attempt to get an official letter stating that the Chinese authorities do not issue such clearance documents for F visas, but again, so far, the authorities I've contacted have not given any real guidance on this. Does anyone have any practical experience of this problem? I really want to get all my documents ready in time.

Many thanks,

Simon
