Hi guys, I've got a question regarding one of the police reports. We obtained a 2NL, and my interview is at the end of Nov.
My spouse used to live in Germany for nine months, so he doesn't have to do a police clearance from there, according to the table attached a bit earlier - "any previous country or countries of residence if residing there for more than 12 months".
However, many videos on YouTube (not Brit) tell you to make a police certificate even if you haven't been living in the country for 12 months or so, let's say to be safe and overprepare.
Is this true? Or just misinformation?
Does he technically require this document, or is it optional? We might not obtain a report due to waiting time, so I'd like to make sure we are on the safe side.
