Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided for at least one year. A police certificate must also be obtained from the police authorities of any place where the applicant has been arrested for any reason, regardless of how long he or she lived there. Police certificates must cover the entire period of the applicant’s residence in any area. A certificate issued by the police authorities where you now reside must be of recent date when presented to the consular officer. The term “police certificate” as used in this paragraph means a certification by appropriate police authorities stating what their records show concerning each applicant, including all arrests, the reasons for the arrests, and the disposition of each case of which there is a record.

MOST IMPORTANT
No assurance can be given in advance that a visa will be issued. A consular officer will make a decision only after your formal application and documents are reviewed, and you have been personally interviewed by the officer.
You are advised to not make any travel arrangements for departure from this country and to not dispose of your property or give up your job until the visa has been issued to you. An immigrant visa is usually valid for a maximum of six months from the date of issuance. You must travel and apply for admission to the United States within that visa validity period.
If you are issued an immigrant visa, please review the guide for new immigrants.
PLEASE BE ON TIME FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT. You may not be allowed to the interview if you arrive late to the Embassy.
