Actually, neither get a police check.
The beneficiary (foreign born fiance/fiancee) needs to order police reports for any country they have lived in longer than 6 months, with the exception of the US or a handful of other countries wherein such certificates are difficult to procure (see DOS website for detailed list).
The petitioning US citizen will not need to produce any written information regarding their criminal background unless they answer 'yes' to certain questions on the I129F. This is a really good time to remember that making any false statements (orally or in writing) to DHS can result in the permanent bar of any immigration benefits.
Hi,
I found this comment on police certificates, and it seems that you've answered the question I wanted to ask the members. I wondered if I have to get a criminal record in a case I've lived in the US longer than six months. I've lived there for last five years, actually, fist studying and then working, but now I'm back in Ukraine to complete the K-1 visa processing. (I got a police certificate from Ukrainian authorities already.)
So, in some other posting dated march06 I found that I don't need to get a criminal record from the U.S. but it was almost two years ago and there is a refernce to the package 3 and I found nothing there. And now I found your posting dated yesterday, so could you please tell me where you read it? I've uploaded package 3 from our Consulate website and have read it many times but found no special note about what I'm interested in. I admit I may have missed it of course but I'm glad I ran into your comment. Once I thought I had found it right here (see the link below in the "Police Certificate" section) but it seems that it's related to Immigrants, not to Non-immigrants who we are.

Thank you
