Is petitioner required to provide police certificate for themself, not the intended immigrant?

Considering doing DCF for my adopted children in the near future.  My kids are very young so I'm assuming we won't need to get police clearance for them.  Will I have to show police clearance for myself?  I'm a little worried how I would obtain it for my previous location as there is no online way to request it, and I can't afford to travel back there.  On the consulate website's list of required documents, it just says police certificate for countries of previous residence, does not specify who for.

Not normally

 

Children are USCs?

No they are not USC’s yet, applying to bring them to the states as a LPR but they will automatically convert to citizen once we are living in the states. That’s my understanding of the process.

So 3 I 130s

 

The Consulate will want to check that you were not able to pass on Citizenship

 

When does your job start?

It’s not definite yet but anticipating in the next 4-5 months. Is there a way I could pass on citizenship? They were adopted from a non-Hague convention country, do not meet the “orphan” criteria so doing the family-based process where we live with and have legal custody for 2 years before we file, as you said with I130.

Ahh no 

 

So this is a possibility at the moment

Correct, trying to prepare
