Police Clearance

[YpsiFella 20]

I don't know why this did not click with me earlier but it didn't.

I lived in the US under my previous GC from Sep 2006 until June 2011. Do I need to get a police clearance from the US? Do I do that just through the State police in the State I lived??

Help please.

Yes, you need a police clearance from the US. You get it through the FBI. Check their website for instructions (it will require getting your fingerprints on a card at your local police station and a few other steps). Google "get a US police clearance" for more information; lots of people have been through this.

Oh, good. I was reading something that said they did, but I might have become confused about the status of the person whose case was being discussed. Thanks for the correction and the terrific reference.
