You do not need a FBI report from the States. Your name has already been run through the FBI system when you submitted the I-129f.

 

USC petitioner does not required a PCC. When you supply the I-129f his information is run through different Federal and Local for security checks. The beneficiary is the only one required to do complete PCC if they met living in another country, from your home country, since the age of 16 for 6 months or more.

Yes I am asking for the beneficiary. But her name has probably already been run through the system too. Because the beneficiary needs it from any country they lived in since age 16 for more than 6 months and she lived in the US for 25 months we asked for it. But we are unsure if it was necessary or not. And if it was, if it is enough.

They need police reports from every country except the USA. I lived in the US for a year as a high school student. I wrote this in the forms when it came up, but didn't submit any police report for it at any point. I'm now waiting for my interview so I'm not in the clear yet, but we got this far without anyone ever requesting a US police report so I'm convinced that they really do not expect us to get one as they have all that information at their fingertips anyway.

As I so elegantly stated and referenced with a link that NONE is needed so I still remain with my original answer. Beneficiary and the Petitioner DO NOT need a PCC from the US.

Your answer is SPOT ON! Everyone is run through a series of background checks.

 

There are background checks at USCIS.

 

As part of its benefits adjudication process and as required by law, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts background checks on petitioners and applicants who seek certain immigration benefits. These background checks consist of four separate checks against systems within Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In order to facilitate the collection and transmission of information necessary to complete background check processes, USCIS maintains five information technology electronic systems: the Fingerprint Masthead Notification System (FMNS), the Customer Identity Capture System (CICS), the FD-258 Tracking System - Mainframe (FD-258 MF), the Benefits Bio-metrics Support System (BBSS), and the Inter-agency Border Inspection System (IBIS) Manifest. USCIS is conducting this privacy impact assessment (PIA) because FMNS, CICS, FD-258 MF, BBSS, and IBIS Manifest collect, use, and share personally identifiable information (PII). This PIA replaces the previously published USCIS PIA for the "Background Check Service (BCS)" which describes planned background check-related systems that were never implemented. Upon publication of this PIA, the BCS PIA will be retired.

 

There are checks at NVC.

 

When they receive the approved I-129f from USCIS, they check to ensure that it’s been stamped. NVC will occasionally receive a petition from USCIS and it does not have the appropriate approval stamp in the upper left-hand corner. They are also checking to make sure that the three criminal questions have been answered. He noted that there are times when the petitioner will forget to complete those questions and those questions are subsequently missed by the adjudicator.  In both of these instances the case will then be sent back to USCIS. If one of these things occur with a case file recently received from USCIS, NVC would know within the first week of receiving the case.

 

And there are checks at the Embassy.

 

The embassy will take a bio-metric (fingerprints) from the beneficiary at the time of the interview. During post-interview processing the fingerprint card is scanned and checked against a number of inter-agency databases to ensure the true integrity of the individual who is migrating.

That was my thought from the beginning but I wasn't sure. SORRY. I asked multiple people and no one gave me a real answer. SORRY AGAIN and THANK YOU.

Hey guys! just some words of encouragement... 

 

I had my visa interview this morning and i was approved. 

 

I was definitely way more anxious/stressed than I needed to be. Just be over prepared making sure you have all the requested documents. Everyone was nice, some more talkative than others... The actual interview portion is a very informal conversation. 

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

First your visa's validity is based on the date of the medical exam. When you get your visa be sure to find the expiration date and be on US soil before that date. Once you are in country then you have 90 days to marry from your entrance date. Once you get your marriage certificate then file your AOS for the green card. I hope this is what you were looking for to answer your questions.

Your visa is valid until the 22 of june because that date is 6 month after the medical exam. If you will travel in April you have nothing to worry about

The visa expiration date is tied to the medical but the embassy follows the recommendation from the medical facility who has the leeway to indicate what date they will use. Anytime you have additional testing it influences the expiration date. It has been that way for the 6 years I have been here answering questions, especially to those in the PI because of the rampant TB problems. Further information is contained in the following link.

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/interview/interview-prepare/medical-examination.html

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Medical examination results are valid for six months in normal circumstances. But if you have certain medical conditions your examination results could expire in as little as 3 months. In any case, you should not have your medical examination until the NVC notifies you of your interview appointment date. You may be denied entry to the United States if your medical examination results expire before your arrival.

Aha i got it ...thanks alot
