I just read somewhere that obtaining the police certificate could take 40 days.
How do we go about applying for his police file/record/certificate in advance.
My husband is in England and we have applied for K3. The I-130 and I-129F have not been approved but I hope it will not be much longer. We filed for I-129F on Aug 14, 04 it was received and now pending approval. The I-130 was transfered to California from Texas, it too is still pending.
Thank you
Gloria

He then needs to go to your local police station with your completed form and 10 uk pounds + proof of His identity, with name, address and date of birth.
Then wait 40 days, yes it does nearly always take 40 days.
You will receive a letter from them stating what is held on record which is valid for 12 months.
