Police reports for beneficiary who lived outside their country for more than 6 months

[Ben&Zian 4,397]

Hello, sorry like alot of others on here who could not find any specific info to this, as well as this may be a tad "unique" compared to the generalized question title.

My partner, he is from the Philippines, we have filed out K-1 visa, is preparing to get his NBI clearance, medical appointment(once we have the NVC case #), and some other documents a head of time.

One of those documents it states needed is "Police background/check/report from other country(ies) you have lived in for more than 6 months after the age 16".

My partner has had previously to J-1 visas(internship basically) in Rye, New York, for the same company. Both of these J1's were for more than 6 months. This info was listed on the original I-129 form.

When he goes onto the site to try to request these "foreign" police reports he says USA is not an option in the country selection.

My main question is, as I haven't found the answer myself unfortunately, is because he was in the U.S. both times for these internships, does this police background/check apply to him?

Or is it mainly if he were to have say lived in Japan for those 6 months instead?

Any guidance or answers would be greatly appreciated!!

Police reports are not required for time in the U.S.! They can pull those up themselves.

From the travel.gov website: Note: Present and former residents of the United States do NOT need to submit any U.S. police certificates.

No worries...he won't need to provide a police report for the U.S.

No red ribbon is needed.
