You do not need to present police certificates from the US if you lived here

Oh wow, that's nice

Thanks!

Hello

I have recently received my NOA2 (yay) and i want to start preparing the papers needed for the interview. Now, I know I need police certificates from the all the places I have resided in. It won't be a problem getting those certificates from my town, but the thing is, I have lived for 4 years in United States (college and high school). How could I get police certificates from the USA? Is that even possible?

Than you for your time!

Hello.

I have very recently started to look into the K1 visas and still don't understand some aspects,since many websites have contradictory informatio, so I guess it will be more accurate to ask someone who's been through the process.

I have lived in the United States for a total of 4 years. First tiem, I was there on an exchange student visa in highschool (2006-2007) subject to the 2 year home stay requirement. I returned to my home country - Moldova and finished highschool. I came back in 2008 of a student F1 visa, completed and Associates Degree and got a permit for Optional Practical Training in 2010. I never worked because I didnt find any jobs in the area though. In 2010 I met my SO (American citizen) and we lived together for 13 months. I left the USA to complete my home stay requirement so I can come back in the future and be able to get work visa, or Green card or be able to get married. I now have 3 months left of my home stay requirement. Until now I was going to come back on a F1 visa but that's not going to work out. Me and my SO consider getting married, but are confused about a few things. From my understanding - I can apply for the K1 visa, come to the states, get married and apply for a work permit and adjustment of status and STAY in the USA? Or do I have to leave? Also, I assume the wait time depends on queues and where the fiance is from. Me coming from a country with small immigration population to the US should mean that the process will be shorter? Or it doesn't matter? Also, what proofs that we've been together for a year would suffice? We weren't considering gettign married anytime soon back then so we might not have "Enough" proof. It's kind of strange when you think about it - take any young couple and ask them to prove they're dating, especially one that doesn't have any possesions together or any joint account. We've lived with his parents, would a letter from them be considered as proof? And pictures..Yes we have plenty of pictures but we were too poor to go on vacations or anywhere memorable, they're all from around the house, would they be enough of a proof? How will the officials view our relationship? We've met in August 2010, moved in together in September 2010, lived together until September 2011, then had a long term relationship for a year? I wouldn't think it should be too hard, given the fact that we met in the USA, where I've been for a while already. Can anyone tell me what hardships are we awaiting? Do you advise we hire a lawyer? Some people on here say that it's not worth it. But how about in our situation? Thank you.
