Hi all,

I’m gathering police certificates from 4 different countries I lived in. I have my Colombian one however I’d like to know if I need a Certificado de Movimientos Migratorios?

i was in the states for 4 years however left after 3 months after I turned 18 Years old (meaning I don’t have a ban or anything). 

My lawyer can’t give me a straight answer assisting me instead she replied with this :

 

“I recommend getting an FBI search from the U.S. for the criminal check.  The government has not, in the past, requested a police clearance for those in the US for over 6 months, but policies are changing rapidly.  In case they ask at the interview, I recommend getting a US check as well”

 

i Have two questions :

 

1) For those of you who obtained a Colombian PC and lived in the states unlawfully would I need to get one as well even if I left 3 months after I turned 18 ?

 

2) What do you think regarding my Lawyers email? She keeps confusing me and not answering my questions 

 

 

...Thank you!

2. Your attorney is wrong.  You don't need to provide an FBI check.

Not just wrong but lacking common sense.  You don't need an FBI check because USCIS and NVC do that on their own.  Why would such a policy change to one where they rely on YOU to provide what is readily accessible directly to THEM with no possibility of forgery?  Stupid lawyer.

@valentinasc Could you please share how you were able to obtain your police certificate from Colombia? And how long did it take? My husband will need to get this soon as I am expecting an NVC case number within a week or 2.
