So I have a bit of a problem. Basically I was studying in the states from 2007 until 2011 with a f1 visa. During that time I was still resident in Austria (I am Austrian) when I came back from the States I moved to London for 5 months and then went to the states in a visitor visa for all together 7 months (I had no overstay I left after 3 months and came back and so on) after all that I moved back to Austria. My question now is that for that one year I can't get my records from Austria because I didn't officially live there problem is though that I don't have no proof that I stayed in London either. I did rent an apartment but I don't have no receipts or contract anymore. I know this all sounds confusing, I'm just trying to figure out what to do concerning this one year gap in my criminal records from Austria plus do u I need records from when I lived in the US as well?

Maybe somebody can shed some light on this. Would be more than thankful!

Any jurisdiction where you have lived for at least 6 months, US locations included.

You should not need to show apt lease or such to prove that you lived in a jurisdiction. The visa that entitled you to be there and do what you did (work, school ets) should be sufficient.

You only need police certificates for countries you have lived in for more than 12 mths after the age of 16. This does not include the USA, USCIS can obtain these records on their own.

You don't need one from the UK if you only lived there for 5 mths.

Don't worry about the 'gap' for Austria (or any countries), the police certificate is not required to track where you are living, it is required as disclosure for if you have committed any crimes, in any of the countries you have lived in for any significant amount of time.

My example: I am from NZ, and lived there until the age of 21. I subsequently lived in the USA, Australia, and the UK for more than a year each time. There is an 18 mth gap inbetween the USA and Australia when i went travelling and wasn't resident anywhere.

I had to get Police Certificates for NZ, Australia and the UK only. (NOT the USA)

HTH.
