Getting U.S. Criminal Record From Thailand

[ExpatDave]

Hi,

I need to get my U.S. Criminal record for a Visa for my wife. Has anyone ever got theirs from Thailand?

Your wife needs a visa for where? This is specific to Thailand so if for USA we should move to the other forum topic.

Dave,

It's easy. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the US Embassy (American Citizen Services section)

2. Get a standard FBI fingerprint card

3. Go to the Thai Royal Police HQ (on the BTS line near Paragon)

4. Have them print you and certify the prints with a Thai Royal Police stamp

5. Mail the card to the FBI (instructions will be provided with the card when you get it) -- you will also need to pay $17 in the form of a money order (they do not accept cash)

6. In about 4 weeks you will have the card returned with one of two stamps on the back indicating either that you have no record or that you do have a record

Please note that if you have ever been fingerprinted in America for any criminal offense -- regardless of outcome -- that there will be prints on file with the FBI. In other words, if you were arrested but not charged and/or convicted, the prints are still on file.

I hope this helps. If I can provide any further assistance, please send me a message and I'll be happy to help you.

I'm happy to help anyone whose not a criminal, just as I'm determined to help get locked up anyone who is.

Yours truly,

JC

Seeing that this is about a visa for travel to the USA for the OP's wife I am moving this topic from the forum "Thai visas, residency and work permits" to the forum "Visas and migration to other countries"

This thread does not make sense to me. If it is for a US visa and the OP is a US citizen why is the OP's passport number not enough for the US authorities to check? Far as I am concerned dumber than dumb as far as a procedure goes. Is this another TSA requirement? If so just how long is the American public going to put up with these procedures.
