Hi,

I only submitted the letter from U.S., not from China. I mailed the letter back to the address that is on the return address of the RFE request.

I got the same letter for my father. I am in Maryland too. I don't know what to to do . Please let me know if you find anything new or where we can get that letter in Maryland.
 
I am in maryland. My I got the ref notice from Uscis saying my father finger print have been rejected twice and they asked to submit the certificate fo good conduct. pleasr let me know where i can get that? my father been to maryland for 6 months. I call the local police satation and they tod me thay can not do it there. I have until June 21 to submit that information. I would appreciate if anybody can help me in this matter.
 
Gentlem: Please visit the police station and request them this letter in writing while being there physically with your father.
In the minimal likelyhood of non co-operation, keep the phone numbers and address of your senators handy and send him/her overnight requesting for help.

Contact your local embassy of motherland and submit written rquest to give your father such certificate.
The last resort is to find out which place in your country gives out such certificates and ask your friend there to help you apply there.

All this sounds very frustrating for me too: BUT A MAN GOT TO DO WHAT'S GOT TO BE DONE.

Imp Question for Vinaykk and Perl177: Maiden Name

Vinayakk and Perl177:

Both of you submitted the Letter of Clearance from local police stations.
Question: Mom tends to have two names in 325G. Maiden and post marriage.

Did the certificate from local police station mentioned both the names in it?

If yes: Great.

if no: How can USCIS know that name check was performed for the maiden name ?

The letter that I got from our local PD mentions only married name of my mother, birthdate and address but not her Maiden name.

Considering we don't have long time at our hand, do you think I should approach PD again and ask them to furnish both , Maiden and married names of my mother in their letter of clearance. IF they charged fees again, no problem, but it may be full proof.

What say you ?

Vinayakk: Even if the letter does not mention the time in it, the 325G that we submitted earlier, clearly states the details of residence for the last 5 years so it is upto USCIS to interpret the information in the limitations.


What say you ?


Update on Monday morning: I read this thread once again and at the very beginning of the thread the RFE said "All the aliases" so I am going back to Police Station and asking them to put both the names used by my mother in the letter.

Update on Monday afternoon: RFE is received at home now. It says the expected message: "Certification of Good Conduct: The applicant's fingerprints have twice been rejected as 'illegible'. Additional evidence is required to continue processing the adjustment of status application" Please provide a letter issued by the local law enforcement agency (County Sheriff's Office or Local Police Department) indicating the application has "no criminal record". The record search should include all the aliases (all the other names) the applicant may have used in the past. A separate letter is required for each law enforcement district in which the applicant has resided during the previous five years.

I will get the letter with both the names: Maiden and Married and submit to USCIS tomorrow. There will be a long silence after that and I'll then report the outcome.

sambridh and gentlem,

Try this: Go to http://www.mdsp.org/ and click on the "Services". There is a fingerprinting service that they provide. You have to be there in person. Incidentally they mention that this service is used for "Police Clearance". Take your RFE letter with you.

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Dear Vinayakk: You must have visited web site for Indian Consulate in San Francisco.
In miscellaneous services, they have an item, Police Clearance Cerificate.

This means Indian Consulate can provice such certificate for parents.
The RFE states, certificates from "Local" authorities, but it also states "for the last 5 years". The local PD certificate does not give dates in their clearance letter BUT we have provided dates of stay of parent for the last 5 years in form 325g, so USCIS has that information.

This leads to confusion: Does USCIS want certificate from foreign establishment or only USA

TO TOP ALL: RFE SAYS SUBMIT ALL EVIDENCE IN ONE TIME.

This is unnecessary tension, particularly when parent is clean for whole their life.

does anybody know, how we can escalate this question to moderators and then Rajeev Khanna's office? or should we call his office directly?

Finally an update. 3 weeks after sending the RFE response, I can see that the USCIS site has updated the status in my dad's case to "Card production ordered". Just to recap, My dad got a RFE for certificate of good conduct after his 2nd FP was rejected. I acquired the letter from SJPD and sent it to USCIS on May 4th. The status was last updated today. Waiting for the welcome letter.

So to all others in same boat, your approvals should be next.

Congrats!!!

Vinayak: Congratulations!!! This is great news.
To recap: You received RFE and you sent reply on May 4th,
The reply was acknowledged on USCIS web site on 13th MAy
and the magic message of "Card Production Ordered" appeared on 22nd May.

Your home is now blessed with parental love and affection.
Hope you all enjoy your times together.
 
I am applying for adjustment of status of my father in the US. His attorney is telling us that he may have to produce police clearance certificates from all jurisdictions where he has resided for more than 1 year since age 16.
I was under the impression that police clearance is required only for the previous 5 years.
Can some one clarify the situation?
 
RFE Parents green card
