Yes. It is very easy to get. Just go to your local police department with your DL, and they'll give it to you in 5 minutes.. You'll have to pay like 2 dollars, or something like that.

You are right, you don't need police clearance. The other thing that they say is required is your medical. It's listed there, but some people say that you don't need to submitted at this time.

Do you know where do u send your Application to ??
 
Not all asylum cases are the same, but if you read the I-485 instructions, you'll see the following:

Police Clearances:

"If You are filing for adjustment of status as a member of a special class described in an I-485 supplement form"


I am not a lawyer or a paralegal. I have only done this once, and I was advised to send the police clearance, since I belonged to a political party in my country, and that was part of my asylum case.

It is not my intention to misinform anyone here, so if you want to submit your application without it, go ahead and do it. Worst case scenario, they'll send you a request of additional evidence letter, and delay your case for a couple of months, but on the plus side, you might save the 2 bucks you would have to pay if you got the letter.

The instructions are below:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=3a82ef4c766fd010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD

You are missing the police clearence letter, and also you have to send 75.00 dls for the fingerprints.. You can send both fees into one payment.

Good luck,

D.C.

This is from the website that you indicated :
The asylee should file a Form I-485 with the following supporting documentation (in this order):

* Fingerprint fee (this fee applies to applicants who are from 14 years of age or older)
* I-485 filing fee
* G-28, if applicable, signed by the attorney (or authorized representative) and the applicant. Facsimile signature stamps are acceptable for the signature of the representatives. However, applicants must sign the Form G-28 submitted with the application in the original.
* I-485, signed. Box "d" of Part 2 of the application should be marked. If the applicant is an Iraqi who processed through Guam, also write "IRAQI/GUAM" in the margin.
* 2 photos in an envelope stapled to lower left corner. The name of the applicant and A-number, if known, should be lightly written in pencil on the back of each photo. Details on photo size, etc, may be found in the form instructions.
* Evidence of Asylee Status. Evidence might include a copy of Form I-94 and a clear, readable copy of the letter granting asylum. If alien was initially given conditional asylum, submit evidence to show that the conditions have been removed. See Resistance to Coercive Population Control (CPC) Programs for more information.
* I-602, Application by Refugee for Waiver on Grounds of Excludability, if applicable
Evidence of one year’s physical presence in the United States. Please keep physical presence evidence to an absolute minimum. Evidence might include a letter of employment, a lease, school enrollment records, or similar documentation, which would cover broad periods of time.
* Proof of any absences from the U.S. since you have been granted asylum. For example: photocopies of pages in refugee travel document or passport.
* Birth Certificate or other birth record
* Proof of any legal name change you have obtained since you were granted asylum status
* I-693 Medical with Vaccination Supplement. Only a civil surgeon designated by USCIS to conduct medical examinations may complete the Form I-693 and the vaccination supplement submitted with it. Call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 to locate civil surgeons (doctors) where you live.


Where is the clearance letter and fp fee? Fp is required for refugees because they do not have to pay the filing fee. But no police clearance for any category.
 
* Fingerprint fee (this fee applies to applicants who are from 14 years of age or older)

Yes you have to send along with $325 additional $70 for fingerprints.
 
Don Chinche,

We know you are not trying to misinform people, but I am sorry to say, but the information you provided is not correct. I know that some people need to do police clearance, but those people are not asylees. Asylees filing 485 through their asylum do not require to file the 485 supplements. And the 485 instruction (on the form) says only certain people that are required to file 485 supplements need to submit police clearance. Asylees don't need to do that. You might have submitted one, but you were not required. I am 100% that none of the people granted GC on this forum submitted police clearance.

Do you know each and every single participant in this forum and are familiar with their cases so that you can affirm that you are 100% SURE that NOBODY here sent the police clearance with the I-485 ???

I am a participant here, you don't know me, and I AM 100% SURE that you don't know the specifics on my case, so either you are not 100% right, or simply I don't exist.

In this forum most people speak based on their experiences. The lawyer that helped me with my adjustment of status advised me to send the police clearance along with the I-485. Whether USCIS saw it or not, that's not my problem... But better safe than sorry....

Once again, Not all cases are the same.

I meant people other than you. Of course you can send anything you want to USCIS in addition to what they require. They are not going to say "sorry you are denied because you sent us this and that" And I am sure everybody can send the police clearance if they want too, but I am trying to say that it was NOT required. The list of required items for asylees specifically says form 485 (it doesn't mention 485 supplements) And the instructions on the 485 say that certain people who need to file 485 supplements might need to submit police clearance. But since we are not required to submit those supplements, we don't need to submit police clearance. That's all I am trying to say!

OK maybe 100% is a huge number, so I will say 99% just to make sure we include you....but let's ask if there is any other person who submitted police clerance...or better yet, let's see who did NOT submit police clearance and still got their GC without it.

In your original post you said he must submit police clearance. So my main point was to say that No he doesn't. The percentage is beside the point.

Your lawyer is an idiot. Police clearances are required only if you are obtaining benefits from another country..in other words if you apply PR for Canada, they will ask you to submit one...

In theory with USCIS, your attitude shouldn't be "i better send this, better than nothing"....You should ONLY SEND USCIS what they request....NEver give out too much information in my opinion.

wantmygcnow...exactly what I wanted to say. I agree with you 100%. The lawyer was an idiot...at least clueless.

Don Chinche, just because a lawyer say something it doesn't mean that he/she is 100% correct. Most are good at keeping up with their job, but I have met many lawyers that are clueless and make a bunch of mistakes.
 
It is interesting to see how you call everyone "idiot" because they differ with your opinions..

You heard it, everyone.. Just because you hire a lawyer, doesn't mean that you have to follow their advices. Just ask the people in this forum. Each one of them has a large experience of 1 case... I don't get it...

I guess I am an idiot too... But a lucky one, whose case did not get lost in a pile of possibly incomplete applications.....

Just do as you please.

I personally didn't call everyone "idiot". I said that that particular lawyer didn't know what he was talking about. If you find me a documentation from USCIS that say that you, as an asylee, must submit a police clearance, then I will be the first one to ask for forgiveness and to admit I was worng. Just show me and I will agree with you...and your lawyer.
