police check

[Kaitlyn]

hey everyone! i have a question, my SO was in the US from when he was 12 to 20. Does he need to get a police certificate from the US? In packet 3 it says he needs to obtain a check from all "foregin countries", does it consider the US a foregin country? If so, and he needs one, how could i get it?
Thanks!

No - police certificates are not required from the US because they do their own FBI check.

You can view the individual country list here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/reciprocity/country_pick.htm#M

It will tell you if police certificates are available and therefore required, or not such as in Mexico.

You should also check your consulate website -- you'll usually find information like this:

Current and former residents of the United States should NOT obtain any
police certificates covering their residence in the United States.
