At what point do you need the criminal background check completed? I just called and found out that they take up to 120 days. I am going to get it done right away, but I just wondered if you need it when you file your CR1, or at the visa interview?

Thanks :dance:

You need it for the interview.

If you haven't been convicted of any crime in Canada, you don't need the fingerprint check, only a name check.

You should be able to get results in 7 days.

I just got it done, about a week after getting my NOA2.

You will need it when you hit the NVC stage. Basically, once you file your petition will go to USCIS, then you'll have to wait about 2-5 months approximately. Then once you get an approval from USCIS, your file will be forwarded to NVC. There is where they will request the police certificate, which you can get from your local police station or commissionaires.

Oh good!

For the timing, listen to people going through the CR1!

My answer was for a K1.
