Lived in the states

[Sarahnick 19]

I just saw something that confused me, iam born in Sweden and did for the two past years live in the states, worked as an au pair (J1) visa,

Never overstayed the visa, police never stopped me, no tickets nothing. Do I need a police record (not sure what's it called) from my time in the states when filing the k1 visa?

I will list in the g235 my adress I had over there and also send a copy of my visa.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?!

You do not ned a police cert for the US; they will check you themselves. Good luck.

Even if you are not aware of it, your record is meticulously kept by FBI and when it comes to your legal woes in the US, they just check the database if the need arises.

So, no you don't need PCC for your time spent in the US for US immigration purpose.

But if someone is immigrating to some other country, say Australia, and that person has spent time in the US, then one requests a FBI clearance.

You are telling people the American FBI keeps records on every one in the USA? People are put in such a data base if and when they are involved in crimes not just because they are living in the USA as far as I know. Where did you get this info?

Ning,

Did you not understand what I wrote completely? I wrote FBI keeps a record of " your legal woes" ?

I see I need to word my post differently.

I meant to say when someone does something illegal in the US, that goes to the database. That's all I meant.

Here we see the O P indicates no contact with the police in America. They are from Sweden so its a legitimate question.

Here you indicate the O P has a record " meticulously " kept by the FBI when it comes to " your legal woes ". You question if they are aware.

I understand what I read. I understand you indicate they have " legal woes " which of course they do not.

Please confine yourself to what you understand rather than questioning my understanding of what you yourself wrote.

You do not need it for USA when you're applying for a US visa. However, you would need it for any other country that you have lived in after the age of 16.
