Criminal Background Check

[Heidi9292 10]

It is a bit too early for me to worry this but I like to do something to reduce my anxiety.

 

I conducted a criminal background check with FBI in April 2019 for other purpose because I lived in the U.S from Aug 2015 to June 2018. In Sept 2019, we decided to jump all the nonsenses and just get married and live together.

 

I was browsing the required documents for k1 visa interview and saw that criminal background check from countries I lived for more than 6 months after 16 years old is required.  I emailed the U.S embassy here and they told me the report for countries I used to live in should be able to cover the duration of my stay and report for country I am living in need to be done within 12 months before the interview. My FBI report sounds enough,  I never stay over 2 weeks in the U.S since 2018. However, I'd like to know about others' experience here and learn about your guys insights on:

 

1. Do I need to get a more updated report from the U.S? It is kinda expensive since last time I spent over 100 usd to get my fingerprints took by professionals and another 30 usd for international shipping, plus that 18 usd FBI application fee. 

2. Does FBI identity history report is enough or I need something from the local police (where I lived back then).

 

Thanks

No PCC is needed for the US. They will do their own checks automatically.
