https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/IranIslamicRepublicof.html I attached the below link and language. It says under the comment section that it is not required because it is unreliable. I know generally a comment to a legal statute is subject to interpretation but this is on a DOS page so I’m assuming it is not required.

My fiancé lived in Iran for at least 6 months since age of 16, and the visa requirements indicate that you need a police report from each country you resided at for at least 6 months. However, under the immigration page, it states that an Iran police certificate is unreliable and not required for immigrant visas. I have attempted asking the embassy at Montreal and talking to other attorneys but there are mixed opinions. Has anyone had their fiancé go through the visa interview with or without an Iran police clearance who can tell me whether it is required? If it is not required, is there a way to get US embassy to send email or letter verifying an exemption?
