Hi All,

 

Need some guidance - 

 

My wife's priority date is June 25 2016 and her I-130 petition is approved. We just noticed that she is eligible from Oct 1 to submit her I-485 as dates for filing is moved to Nov 2016. Can somebody let us know if she has to provide police clearance if she has been living in US for past 7 years (She has lived in India and Germany before moving to US)? Additionally, what documents do we need to submit other than I-485, Vaccine documents (I-693), My wife's lawful status documents, my Green Card, our marriage proof,  and financial support. We have all the documents but I am not sure if we need to get police clearance documents from India and Germany.  

 

Thanks in advance,

Sachin

A PCC is needed for every country an applicant lived after the age of 16 for more than six months.  But would she not have already submitted these documents since she is in the US lawfully.  If she has she won't need to submit again, she can submit copies and probably mention why not needed in cover letter.

Thanks KaylaKo and Tracy ! I am little confused now as both of you have different opinion. 

My wife never submitted PCC . As a matter of fact I also never submitted PCC although I entered in US on H1 and later on got employment based Green Card. I also went through I-485 instruction and noticed that police clearance is required only if you have any criminal charges, arrests, or convictions. 

 

Tracy - Please let me know if you disagree and would you mind to share the checklist of documents you sent for AOS. Thanks in advance !

I was on H1b too, and submitted I-485 last October 2016. I didn't submit any police clearance and my application is approved. Usually, H1b has SSN and that would use for background check. Please see my timeline in my signature.

 

Is your wife in United States or doing consular processing? Consular processing requires police clearance. I was in United State and adjusted while here.

Thanks KaylaKo ! Just want to understand your case better. My understanding is  your spouse was permanent resident when you got married and later on your spouse filed F2A for you. At the time of filing you were on H1 visa. 

 

In our case, I am the petitioner (Green Card holder) and I filed F2a for my wife, who is on H1 visa. Yes, she is in US and works full time.     

 

None of us ever had  to provide PCC as I came to US on H1B and got my Green Card through employment based EB2 whereas my wife came on J1 and later on moved to H1 visa.
