Official I-601A Thread - Page 41

Just checked my case status. Status didn't change, but the "Last Updated Date" changed, what is that suppose to mean?

This. The wait for an interview in Juarez is around 7-9 months. For other countries like Honduras and El Salvador is around 2-3 months.

Those are some long processing times.. Obviously is case is different but something like this.

I130- 7-9 months
Waiver- 9-12 months
Interview- 4-7 months

When I go to the interview, do I still need Police certificates from my home country even though I haven't lived there for like 15 years?

Yep you will need it.....doesn't matter how long you've been away.

Are you sure? I did not need to obtain a Police Certificate. I think if you left home country before turning 16 then it is not required right?

I thought you AOS here? If you go the i601A route you WILL need the police certificate from your home country; doesn't matter if you left before 16. BTW I think most dreamers left before 16 lol

You DO NOT need a police certificate from Mexico, if you haven't lived there for six months or more after you turned 18.

According to travel.state.gov, "In Mexico police certificates are only available for applicants 18 and over. A police certificate from every state in Mexico is generally not required for an IV application. A single police certificate is sufficient. Only when an IV applicant has lived in Mexico for six months or more and after the age of 18 is a police certificate required. However, consular officers may request a state police certificate where an individual was resident for more than six (months) on a case by cases basis. "

How about the U.S? I think they ask for a police certificate from any country you lived in. Do I need to get a certificate from the U.S before I leave?

Yes, you'll need a police certificate from every state you have lived in for more than 6 months, since you turned 16 years old.

Every state is different, so you'll need to google how to get your criminal history, for every state you've lived in.

I will wait to get it once the 601A waiver gets approved because the NVC will only accept them if they were done within the last 6 months. Also, I'll probably have to request them again for the interview at the US Consulate.
