Police certificate required for package 3 ???Help!

Hello,everyone.A question that really bothers me.One of the things you need to declare is whether you lived in another country for over a year since the age of 16.Is that 12 consecutive months?What if you were somewhere for 5months,then left for a few weeks,then went back for another few months.This way you really was somewhere for a year,but not at once...So what do you do?Do you still need to declare you lived somewhere over a year and get a police certificate (even though you never really had a resident address or anything)?Or do you just not declare it because it wasnt 12months at once?Any help will be appreciated!Thank you

I would suggest not to start avoiding or going around the requirements. If you were living in a country and then left for a few weeks [this mean vacation] since you went back again to the same place, same address [assuming].. to avoid any problems with the USA/Immigration be honest and obtained the require police reports.. it will be less painful

This is still residing in one place for a year or more. Taking a week or two of vacation does not mean you have given up your residence. You will need to declare your place of residence and obtain a police certificate if AVAILABLE. You can check the DoS web site reciprocity pages to determine if the police records are available.
