obtaining police certificate

[LINGIWE 1]

hi everyone, my fiance and i at this point we are just gathering information on the k1 visa before we can file the petition. the thing is for the past 2yrs i have been living and working in south africa illegally, i got their on a visiting visa.

my question is: when filling the forms in packet 3, should i mention that i have lived and worked in south africa for 2yrs even if it was illegally? will i need to produce a police certificate for south africa during interview? or should i not mention anything rather then i visited south africa? please help its really confusing

thanks

in advance

Never EVER lie on the forms That is the quickest surest way to get yourself a nice little ban from entering the US.....for life.

You will need to get a police certificate for every country you have lived in for at least 6 months since you were 16 years old. The fact that you were in South Africa illegally will not affect you getting a visa to the US. The US does not care that you were in another country illegally as long as it was not the US.
