Default Police Cert: RCMP or Local?

Hey all,

I want to first thank everyone for thier help with my previous questions (I'm using
my ISP's mail function, I was under google groups as Ethuil).

Well, after 3 weeks (the first NOA came after only 5 days, yikes!) the second NOA
came and according to the recording as well, we were approved Now it's up to me on
my end to get things done!

Now, I know I should wait until I get the package from the consulate, but always
impatient, I'd like to get things moving.

I went ahead and got my immunizations, made sure they were current. I also got a
blood test and chest xray done for the heck of it as well (my mother works for our
family doctor as his secratary, how convenient )

Now, I need to get my police certifcates (I'm assuming that's what you get, and not
just fingerprints). And I'm wondering: I've lived in Canada all my life, and my
address has always been my current one. Not once did I live anywhere for more than 3
months at a time. Even then, my address never changed. Now, could I go for a local
police certificate with the OPP, or would I have to mail my prints off to the RCMP in
Ottawa and (supposedly) wait the extra 60 days (yikes)? I've never gotten any fines,
or been pulled over, nor any parking tickets. Clean as a whistle.

Thanks in advance for any advice given

-Evan

**What visa are you getting?

**If you have received your official approval and your consulate allows you can fax
them it along with a request to open a provisional file. I faxed mine to Vancouver
Consulate and received the packet 2 days later.

I went ahead and got my immunizations, made sure they were current. I also got a
blood test and chest xray done for the heck of it as well (my mother works for our
family doctor as his secratary, how convenient )

**Although it is great to jump ahead you will not be able to use this for your
case. You have to have your medical exam (blood test, X-ray and the exam)by a
specific doctor approved by INS (they provide you with a list of approved Dr's in
your packet).

Now, I need to get my police certifcates (I'm assuming that's what you get, and not

**I just received my K3 visa and what was required from the Vancouver Consulate was a
police certificate from the RCMP in my area of residence. I am not to sure where you
are from but you should be able to go to your local RCMP and ask for it (might need
letter from Consulate that comes in Package 3, I did)

I hope this helps you out. If you need any other assistance or are going through
Vancouver Consulate, email me and I can give you the Dr list and hopefully help you
out a bit.

Good Luck Mel

We had the Montreal consulate. They do not open provisional files. I received package
3 about 2 weeks after we got our 2nd NOA. I live in SW Ontario and went to the RCMP
office in London. They will run you through their computer and if you have a clean
record they will give you a page in triplicate stating you were not found in their
data base. This took about 15 minutes. Bonnie "Me" <[email protected]> wrote in

You must bring your pardon plus papers your court records to the interview Also USA
does not recognize a Canadian Pardon Period you must get the I-601 waiver before your
Visa will be approved. Also if you have entered the USA without a Waiver of
inadmissibility you have broken INS laws.

I don't know hwere you got that information from but you are wrong, I talked to a INS
person and they said I do NOT need a waiver, and I have entered the US many times and
have been checked out, a DUI in the states is a traffic ticket not a criminal charge

Umm, how was Charles supposed to know from your question that it was a DUI?

And also a DWI/DUI in some states is more than a traffic ticket. You can get jail time in some areas for DUI's

The I601 waiver is required if you have a crime of moral turpitude on your criminal history. You can only apply for the waiver AFTER your visa is denied.
A DUI is very definitely a criminal charge in the US. If you are charged with a DUI you will be arrested - you CAN be arrested for a traffic citation - just try refusing to sign one - however 99.9% of the time you are allowed to sign the ticket promising to either appear on the court date assigned - or enter a plea of guilty by signing the back of the ticket and sending it in with your fine.
My point is - it depends on the crime you commit - if it falls into the crime of moral turpitude category - if it is a felony - if there is a prison record. Then you are looking at the I601 waiver. I can't remember the form # for the waiver your required to get from the US to enter if you have a criminal history - but it's NOT the I601 waiver.

The answer is I-192 Waiver of inadmissibility or also known as advanced permission to
enter as a non immigrent. Thats what it says on my I-192 waiver of Inadmissibility.
