Update-Interview Letter

Recd our interview letters for 10/27/09 at 2 pm at the Santa Ana DO. My husband had a DUI conviction in Wisconsin in 1999, and we paid the ticket, etc. After this we got our GC in 2002. Now with the N400 app, I had sent all the original docs with the app, since that's what the instructions said.
Now how do I get certified docs for something that happened 10 years ago?

I'm not sure about this but maybe you should try getting in touch with the Wisconsin PD (their records bureau). Explain to them that you're applying for citizenship and need proof that your record is clean.

I just paid the LA Sheriff's dept $42 to get a clearance letter.

Oh where is that Oath letter? Tick tock, tick tock...
 
Thanks 2shy. So you just walked into the Sheriff's office and requested this letter? How long did the process take?

Well first I was given a form N-14 from the adjudicator at my interview which requested a 'police clearance' before my case could be approved. I don't have any criminal records by the way! :) The adjudicator told me to go to my local LAPD station to get this done. So I went home and did some calling around and googling. Turns out that the lapd don't do police clearance for citizenship (immigration) purposes. They only do them for adoption and travel. Turns out the adj was misinformed.

Sooo, in the process of calling around I learned that only the LA Sheriff's do these clearances, at the Norwalk records bureau location. Takes about an hour (if you do this in person) to get a letter stating that no criminal history could be found, yada yada yada. Costs $42
 
Thank you 2Shy. :)

Interviewed on Sept 1st in Santa Ana, waiting for OL as well. I was hoping to get in the 9/25 oath ceremony, but it is looking more like October now.
