In the event this alleviates any concerns for those in mid-2025: I have a pending I130 and have visited the US twice so far this year (April and June) on an ESTA without any issues. Both of my trips were for around 2 weeks and the CBP officer was comfortable with my explanation and intentions.

Of course! the one visit I had back to Taiwan since I stopped living there was just a short holiday to see friends. Thanks for the tip, I'll be careful around that.

This sounds encouraging so far, I will report back when I do eventually submit it once I get through the I-130 stage (Fingers crossed!)

Excellent! I am the beneficiary, my spouse (USC) is the petitioner

Hi everyone, I’m currently in the CR1 visa process, having submitted the I-130 application last year. Looking ahead to the NVC stage - which I’m hoping will come around soon, assuming we receive approval, I had a question regarding police checks for countries I’ve previously lived in. Between 2014 and 2019, I lived and worked in Taiwan and held an ARC (Alien Resident Certificate) during that time. In May 2020, I obtained a Taiwanese police clearance certificate, which I needed for work purposes. The process was quite tedious and hence I am getting ahead of the game and thinking ahead this time. Since the period I have lived in Taiwan, I’ve been issued a new passport, and the police clearance I have lists my old passport number. I haven’t lived in Taiwan since 2019, though I did make a brief 4-day visit in January 2020 for a holiday. I noticed on the US embassy in UK website, that it says the following: Source: Immigrant Visas FAQs - Visa Processing and Documents My question is: Would I be able to use the police clearance I obtained in 2020, or would I need to apply for a new one? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
