What is certified letter for all the location lived in past five years
Asked on Feb 16th, 2013 on Immigration - California
More details to this question:
I am a green card holder in the process of applying for Naturalization, I passed my Oral exam, and received a N14 form told I have missing evidence on N400 form and need a certified letter from all the locations I lived for the last five years and the police clearance letter, I obtained a police clearance letter already, and I have always lived at the same place over the past five years, not sure how I can obtain the certified letter, please advise. If it may help, I was told to repeat my finger printing once, and oral interview scheduled after I complete the repeat finger prints, I do not have any criminal records
Requests for proof of non-criminality generally come when there is a problem with reading the fingerprints. Some individuals have light fingerprints, others have scars or calluses from the type of work that they do. At that point, USCIS will usually request a letter from every jurisdiction in which you have resided during the relevant period of time – in your case five year period of residence for naturalization purposes. By certified letter, I can only assume that your naturalization examiner wishes a raised seal on any letter that you obtain from the police. Perhaps having the authorities isssue you a clearance letter with the raised seal of the police agency may do the trick.
