Police Certification/Record- previously in US

[bigkeeser 0]

We're just starting the K1 process and I will be mailing in the I-129F packet in soon. Ny question is concerning when the packet gets to the Embassy. My fiancee is German and will go through the Frankfurt embassy. I know she will have to get copies of her police records.

She was in the US for 1 year as an AuPair. Would she need to get copies of that police record too? There should be no problems getting the German police records, but I don't know how to obtain the US ones if she does need them.

Anyone out there been in a situation like this?

No - the USCIS can access all agencies records - FBI, CIA, police...

As a matter of fact, in the list of requirements it clearly says police records from all countries except US where the applicant resided for 12 months or more.

I was on a student J-1 visa and did not need to show any police records from the US (was there for a year).

Thanks for the info! I was searching online and I did see where it said any countries for over a year. The sources I saw never came out and said exactly the US was exempt. I've been searching around VJ and most people have been saying the same thing as you.

I emailed the Embassy before I posted just to double check. So I should hear back from them eventually.

Here's a question though... On any of the forms where it asked for where you lived/worked/studied.... Did you put wherever that was in America? I ask because my fiancee was in 1 state for only 2 months, and another state for 10 months. I plan on writing that info down, but she has a lot of things to put down for the last 5 years. School, internship, Au Pair at 2 locations, and a new job. Looks like I'll have to add an atachment.

Yes, I did put the name of the place - I spent the whole time there.

You can always attach a sheet of paper with additional addresses, won't be a problem at all.

Good luck on your visa journey!
