  Sara, we do appreciate your contacting us.
  You are supposed to present Police Clearance Certificate for each place you have lived for more than 6 months.
  Our advice is that you check the civil reciprocity tables to make sure whether a PCC is really needed or not. Some countries allow a waiver for PCC. Please check the table and plan accordingly.

Hi Prem,
I’m wondering ask a question about what documents should i sent to USCIS ?
I already prepared Form I-129,Proof of citizenship, Intent to marry, Proof of relationship,me and my fiancé ’s passport style photo . Did I miss any document?
and I’ve another question..
I know that my fiancé and I need to get married within 90 days after I entering the United States, but when I get the visa, is there a rule on how long do I need to enter the United States?(I mean Is there a time limit for K1-visa? ) Because we plan to get married on 2021 January. but we plan to sent our petition in this month, is it too early to sent?

Thank you in advance and have a good day!

  Hello Sherry,
  Thanks for reaching out. After the K1 Visa is issued, it’s valid for up to 6 months. The validity will also depend on the medical examination results.
  The whole process between filing the petition, being approved and scheduling the medical examination and the interview with the Embassy may take up to 10 months (with no RFE) give or take. I recommend you read up on the timeline here:

  Download our checklist to make sure her I-129F is complete:

  By organizing everything and forwarding a strong bona fide packet, you may be able to follow your plan of getting married on January 2021.
  
  However, bear in mind that if you want to delay your visa process there are many ways to do that and you’re not required to apply for a visa immediately even if your I-129F is approved. We’ve prepared a great timeline page to help applicants figure out when the best time for filing is.
