Hi all,

Just wondering if I need to request another original police certificate to include with my Adjustment of Status documents? I ordered one for my K-1 application, as instructed, but of course the Consulate took that on the day of my interview. I DID make a photocopy of it, front and back, and I noticed on the Form I-485 that it states photocopies are acceptable as long as they are legible. I'll be sending USCIS a photocopy of my Alberta Certificate of Birth, so I'd assume that a copy of my police certificate will be sufficient as well , but I thought I'd ask if anyone has experience with this.

I have a clear record, and the Vancouver Consulate told me that I'd only need to include a police certificate if I had been arrested/convicted of any offenses. But, since the I-485 says to include it, I'd like to do so. I figure it's a lot easier to request another police certificate before I move, in the event that an original is required.

Thanks!

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Ok thats really weird cause here in Australia you have to send original and a copy of police report for K1 interview but they gave me all my originals back Thats a bit rude they kept your original. But a copy should be fine as that is all I intend on doing for my 485 as that original is mine. Hope this helps and wish you luck.

No police certificate needed for AOS. That's a visa requirement.
