Hi everyone,

 

I have a question — I lived in Portugal until I was 18,  but moved away from there and my addressed from the past 5 years have all been in Austria, where I am from, and where I am filing from. 

Since I was older than 16, do I have to get a police clearance from Portugal as well?

 

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your reply.

I have dual nationality from Portugal/Austria from my parents, so if I request a portuguese police clearance, my portuguese ID number will show up. I applied via my I-130, and I am wondering if it will pose a problem to submit something to the NVC that shows a portuguese nationality?

NVC doesn’t care about that.   You must comply with the police record requirement though.

Just noticed a typo in my previous message — I was saying that I applied for the I-130 through my Austrian nationality, and would now be showing Portuguese nationality.
