Police records
Hi,
I have just a quick question:
Will I need the police criminal records from both the US and my home country? I've been in the US for the past 2 years (legally) and I'll be marrying an American and petition for AOS.
Thanks.

police reports
Just an interesting general note on police and military records/reports. My fiance is an Iranian citizen, living in Turkey. I was worried about how long it would take him to get this information; Iran has lots of red tape in their system (it took them a year and a half to replace his damaged passport). I have an immigration lawyer, and I was very pleasantly surprised when she showed me a memo she received from INS/BCIS which stated in BOLD LETTERS (to the best of my recollection)
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE POLICE AND/OR MILITARY RECORDS FROM THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES. THE GOVERNMENTS OF THESE COUNTRIES WILL NOT RELEASE THIS INFORMATION FOR ANY REASON.
To my relief, both Iran and Turkey were on the list, among many other "terrorist type" countries. She told me not to even worry about that part of it, since the BCIS directive was to NOT request that information. They evidently will not expect to see that paperwork in my file at any time. This was as of last month (March 2003). It was a great relief to me!
On the other hand, isn't it ironic that the countries that the USA deems more of a 'threat' are the ones that aren't required to supply police and military records? hmmmm....

Hi Rene,
I don't remember which website I seen this on after you told me about
it but you are 100% correct in that. I am not sure but it might have
been Mudall's sight that I read it.
Your 10 steps ahead of everyone here!

Re: Police records
The Department of State is the approving authority for visas, and State's
website says police records are available from Turkey, I would verify this.
