Important Question regarding Police Certificate

[naush135]

Hi all,

I am looking for a clarification here but needs to be sure about what anyone answers. I am living in UK for 3 months now. Previously, I was in the US for 5 years. This implies that I would need a police certificate from the US state. CIC website suggests that they may ask for new certificate again at the time of processing. But if i am not living in the US anymore, would they still require a new certificate or the same certificate should be fine. As i am not living in the US, the police character certificate should not be any different now or after 3 years.

Any one ??

They may not ask for USA again. But they may ask for your present country if the stay is more than 6 months.

You must get a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six or more months in a row since the age of 18.

The certificate must be issued no more than three months before you apply.

You need to apply for a new one.

in this situation...isnt it always better to apply for PCC after you get a request from Visa officer?

what if we get the PCC too early, and by the time VO sees that, the PCC is already expired...

If you received your AOR from the visa office processing your application and you have a File number you can send your PCC before the visa office requests it.
