Criminal Records for Consulate Interview

[Felicity85 0]

Good Morning!

I am anxiously awaiting the checklist from the consulate on what to bring to my interview. Once I have this I just need to check off the materials and send the list back and my interview will be scheduled. To get ahead, I am already trying to obtain as many docs a possible.

I DO have a question, however, and maybe one of you could help me out:

On my I-130 I had to list my official residences of the past ten years. I DID put down the four years I spent in the US getting my Undergrad degree on an F-1 student Visa.

NOW: does this mean that I have to obtain my criminal record from the US as well??? I maintained primary residency in Germany (I am German btw) the entire time. But the requirement for the interview is to obtain criminal records from all the places I resided in for more than a year over the past ten years (which also includes Morocco, but that's an entirely different headache) and I DID put the time I spent in College on the I-130.

Thank you for your help, and to the others who have to obtain records from abroad, I found this immensely helpful:

Good luck to all of you!!!

No. As per NVC instructions: Note: Present and former residents of the United States need NOT obtain any U.S. police certificates

Police Certificates

Good luck!

I do feel mildly ashamed that in spite of the ridiculous amount of information I have read on this, I skipped that sentence

On the other hand, if you actually have, as you said, "a criminal record" in the USA or anywhere else, you should obtain the court records. If no criminal record, no worries.

Nope, thankfully my record is pristine and squeaky clean
