Hi,
do you know at what point in the process they ask for police certificates and how long they usually give you to send them in?
Asking because my father is coming here in a couple of weeks and he is staying for 6 weeks. The police certificate from Japan is valid for 3 months, apparently, so if they request it October or later, he will probably have to get another one. Getting one here while he is here is out of the question, as the consulate says it will take 3 months to obtain.
Obviously, the safe bet is to get the police certificate and bring it here, but I don't know if he has time to do it before he leaves, (it takes a couple of weeks to get) I'm just wondering how much of a risk it is if he comes here without the police certificate.
FYI my application was received on May 15 and I have not had any updates - no ecas, no MyCIC, no AOR.
