Police Records

[ChazAZ 0]

Item #5 of the list of things we need to bring for our interview states that persons convicted of a crime need to bring certified documents from the court. My fiancee has no such records but, I have read elsewhere she needs to bring documents from the local police department stating a clean record. Is there any such document provided by the U.S. that is acceptable or have I read some incorrect material relating to this? It looks to me if she has no such records (of conviction of a crime) this item can be skipped all together. Anyone that has crossed already may be able to address this...

Thanks in advance

I should clarify. I have not read of a document that the US has in regards to obtaining a statement from the police. I have read

it is necessary to obtain one even if the beneficiary has a clean record.

I think i'm a little confused.

If the USC has a criminal past you need to submit documents with the I-129f. The beneficiary needs to supply a police report from all Countries he/she has lived in for an extended period.

I guess it sounds a little contradictory, but the consulate doesn't require police certificates if your fiancee has a clean record.

Here's something that Kitkat once posted that I bookmarked (it doesn't explain why they don't take police certificates, but it covers other important stuff):

Do you mean the beneficiary has lived in the US and you want to know how to get a police record from there? If so, you do not need one- they will do their own investigation of criminal records during your visa application process. If you mean how to get one from other countries, each country varies, so contact the local police department or embassy of the country you used to live in for details.
