I would recommend you to get FBI certificate now as there is no harm in getting it. Visa officer may ask you to submit FBI certificate even though the stay was less than 6 months. Getting FBI certificate is a lengthy process of 6-8 weeks.skhzskhz said:US POLICE CLEARANCE
DEAR FORUM MATES,
I AM A FREQUENT FLYER TO US.IN 2013 I TRAVELED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH TO US, IN SOME CASES TWICE A MONTH. THE MAXIMUM DURATION OF MY STAY IN US DID NOT EXCEEDED 8 DAYS/ VISIT.
DO I STILL NEED FBI CLEARANCE? PLEASE ADVISE.
Visa officer requested us to submit the same although our stay in US was never exceeded 6 months. I personally know one more applicant who was requested to submit.
Again it depends entirely on visa officer. I don't state that it is must.
