Police Clearance from the States

[Surferjackie 0]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if someone can help me out here.

I attended college and grad school in the States, now back in my country applying for K-1. I'm currently awaiting NOA-2 and I read that I will need to get a police clearance if I lived in a country for more than 12 months. My question is, do I need to get one from the States, or will the USCIS be able to run a background check on me based on my SSN that I had provided. I had applied for and obtained a SSN when I first moved there as a student and had never had any trouble with the law.

If I do need to get police clearance, how do I go about doing it?

Thank you for your time and advise!

As far as I have read on here, you don't need police reports from US, as the background checks are done here. Somebody else can probably verify that.

Just to make correction to your statement, you need police reports from any places you stayed for over 6 months, since age 16.

Good luck!

Agreed with previous post no police record needed for USA

The US is one of those countries where it's citizens cab move and live wherever they choose and do jot need to check in with the police wherever they go. It's called one of our freedoms. There are no police records to be had.
