FBI background check

[atothelkini 0]

Does the FBI check your background since you arrived in the states as it relates to you as a Permanent Resident in the country?

Or do they check with your native country for anything there?

For example if I was to have some debt problems which have occurred in the UK since I became a Permanent Resident - will these factor in my background check? In the US, I have a clean criminal and credit record... whereas the UK may show this debt problem in a credit background check.

If they do check my UK stuff and it shows, will this affect a citizenship application?

You should be ok as they are generally looking for crime committed while in the US. I'm unsure if they would run something through Interpol as well. As long as your financial issues haven't been money laundering, I think you are fine. Good Luck!!

BTW, where in the Jacksonville DO do you reside? We're in Tallahassee.

I'm not in Jacksonville... I'm in Tallahassee too!

The IBIS check they do includes international checks. They check with over 20 different law enforcement agencies and Interpol.

There are a least 6 FBI agents attached to the US Embassy in London. I imagine they can check just about anything in the UK if they were requested to do so.
