Hello all!

I am preparing to sponsor my in-laws for permanent residency while they are in the US. I was aware of getting a PCC if I were to go down the path of CP (which can be obtained from the local police station back home). However, I am unsure of how to get a police clearance certificate if I file for AOS from a local office here in the US. Would I get this from local police office from the city I live in to fulfill the requirement?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

SW.

PCC is not required if you file for AOS in USA. PCC is only required if you file for CP.

Thanks.

I just saw the reason why it would not be applicable on the I-485 supplement form.

You say "I am preparing to sponsor my in-laws for permanent residency while they are in the US."

If these in-laws are CURRENTLY in the U.S. and there has been some changed circumstance that makes it better to remain here and apply for AOS, that is one thing but if they are not currently in the U.S. then you are planning an immigration fraud.

Which is it?

Also, you might be a financial joint or co-sponsor on an I-864 but it must be your USC spouse who sponsors his/her parents on I-130s and also as the I-130 petitioner must be the primary I-864 sponsor (even with zero income).
