Friends, I’m wondering about the following –

Do I need a police certificate from the U.S. if I’ve lived their for five years? I was sure that I didn’t; I mainly relied on the information from www.travel.state.gov (link below) but have also consulted a few people on this website, so I figured I was all set. Today, after talking to some guy who heard it from the friend who had another friend blah-blah-blah… I was told that I may still need it. I’m confused now. There is nothing specific about the cases similar to mine in the Information Packet I downloaded from the Embassy’s website (good question why?) Right now, I’m waiting for my petition to reach the Embassy in Ukraine (where I currently am) and to schedule an interview.

Can anybody who’s been in the same situation to clarify this for me please???

Thank you very much :help: !

Thank you for your response. And I'm sorry if it was you who I've asked before (I cannot find my initial posting on the police certificates) but could you please tell me how you know that? I just talked to the Embassy and the girl on the phone knew nothing. Apparently, she was reading me from the intstructions she had in front of her - the info I've known forever - and she didn't want to connect me to somebody who'd have more information. I don't know what to do now??

Thanks again

Using the link you provided in your original post, the following is written:

Note: Present and former residents of the United States should NOT obtain any police certificates covering their residence in the U.S.

That is how we know..
