DCF in UK - how long to get NETHERLANDS POLICE REPORT
Hi,
We are doing DCF in the UK and have filed our I-169.
My husband has lived in the Netherlands, and we know the embassy in London has to request a Netherlands police report on him. Does anyone know how long this might take?
THanks

Re: DCF in UK - how long to get NETHERLANDS POLICE REPORT
for the DutchAmerican couples using the Consulate in Amsterdam.....it is
taking 3-4 weeks because the Dutch citizen cannot obtain it him/herself.
the Consulate has a private agency do that and there is no way to speed that
up.
I don't know if the 'police report' you need is the same one. Using my
imagination, I would think so but heck, with immigration things you never
know
ok, that was the long answer.....
the short answer is 3-4 weeks longest and shorter if the report is not as
detailed as for the Dutch citizens.

Re: DCF in UK - how long to get NETHERLANDS POLICE REPORT
That is weird Eileen........I know the Conusulate takes care
of that, but it was sent over to *me*, about ten days after
filing all the paperwork. I had to bring it along for my
Consulate "interview".

Wow! That's strange, too. We went the K-1 route so I don't know if
the procedure for the police certificate is different with the DCF -
but this was something handled between the Consulate and the Dept. of
Justice, I believe. Peter was unable to obtain it himself, and we had
no control over the wait. We were told it would take 4-10 weeks to
process, and it took 6 weeks, I believe. It was the longest part of
the Netherlands' side of the processing....
Perhaps they've changed the way they handle this....

Re: DCF in UK - how long to get NETHERLANDS POLICE REPORT
Thanks for the info, everyone.
We've talked with the consulate help line a couple of times - The bottom line is that they don't know how long it takes, but the police report is not requested until the I-169 actually gets logged into the computer (which they say currently takes 4 week once they receive the I-169).
