@notron 12 aydan fazla yaşadığın ülkeden farklı yabancı bir ülkede yaşıyorsan police certificate gerekli. Kimisi 6 aydan fazla yaşadığında gerekli diyor ama resmi kaynaklar 12 ay olarak belirtiyor.
NVC'nin resmi sitesinde aynen şu şekilde belirtilmektedir:
If you are older than 16 years of age: The original police certificate from your country of current residence and countries of previous residence. If these three items are all true, you must bring a more recent police certificate to the interview:
-
You are older than 16 years;
-
You obtained a police certificate more than two years ago; and
-
You still live in the country that issued the police certificate.
If any applicant has lived in any other foreign country for more than 12 months, where a police certificate is available or was arrested for any reason, regardless of how long they lived there, a police certificate is also required from that country. Please visit travel.state.gov for information regarding other country police certificates.
