Police Report vs Previous Green Card

[MrsFrida 2]

Hello Visa Journey, this is my first post on this forum but I have been reading you folks quite regularly.

You've helped so many people so hopefuly you can help me too, although my 'case' is quite unusual.

I got married to the USC, obtained a green card and lived in the US with my husband. Marriage, however, did not work out and I went back to my home country shortly before removing conditions on my GC in 2007. Unaware of my options I surrended my GC in American Embassy and lived in my country ever since.

Now, six years have passed, I met the right person and here I am in the K1 proceedings. Question is- do I need a police certificate from the US in addition to a police certificate from my home counrty since I spent there three years until 2007?

Thank you for your suggestions.

No, because USCIS will do their own background checks on you for any time you spent inside the USA.

Welcome back to the U.S., where in Poland are you from?

Thank you. 40 min from Warsaw north west.

Thank you. Should I expect much longer wait on my k1 journey because of that?

No, in the US, one does have to "report" to the police everywhere we choose to live.

They have other ways to know all about you. No police cert to be obtained because we don't do that here.

I doubt you'll wait longer.
