I have been in the states/Dallas since 1994 LEGALLY (student F1/OPT). I
did travel outside the US several times since 1994. I am in the process
of applying for AOS/I-485 because I got married to a US citizen on
11/2003. I intend to get a green card on the basis of this marriage. I
was 17 years old when I first entered the states in 1994 and been in the
states since then. Do I need a Police Certificate for my I-485
application? Where can I get more information about getting one if I
need it? THANKS

Hi:



No.

wesam,



When you read the I-485 instructions, did you see any mention of a
police certificate?

Yes

On the first page of the instructions to file for I-485, it said
something about Police Clearance; this is the same as Police
Certificate, right?



Thanks

Jeffreyhy

wesam,



It said "something"? WHAT did it say?



And having read what is says, does it apply to you?



Regards, JEff

Doesn't it state that if any time has been spent, do NOT attempt to
obtain a police certificate because the USCIS will obtain it for you.

I would provide that document with the package. Having been active
reader of the newsgroup for some time the conclusion is quite simple :
Better to provide more docs than fewer even if some of them are not
required. The break even point is when your package starts looking
like a fat ugly folder, which is bound to get on the bottom of all the
files. BCIS guys like high productivity numbers. You feel the case ?

I agree that the more the better, but how do i get it and from
where, thanks.

Why do I get the feeling that you're not paying attention....?

Wesam

meauxna,



I need to pay attention to what? Can you please clarify? Thanks.

I just want to know how to get the police certificate/clearance, and
from where?
