No criminal record and single proof

hey guys,

We're not sure when we should submit the No criminal record and single proof.

Please advise.

Thank you very much.

For the initial I-129F submission, no criminal record or proof of singleness documentation is generally necessary unless:

• Either of you has been married before, in which case you must provide copies of documents showing that the previous marriage ended—annulment or divorce decree, or death certificate for the previous spouse(s)
• The US citizen petitioner has been involved in a crime classified as "domestic violence" under the terms of IMBRA, in which case you must provide certified copies of all court and arrest records relating to the charge(s). See page 3, part 7 of the I-129F instructions.

For the consulate interview, police records (criminal record checks) and singleness documents (which vary by country) must be provided by the alien beneficiary. Consult the consulate in your country or the regional forums here at VJ for specific info on what's required.

Note that in the I-129F submission, each of you must submit an original statement of intent to marry. That statement should include the fact that you are legally able to marry, i.e. single. The Fiance Letter of Intent in the VJ Example Forms section contains all the required elements.
