But why ask the Oleh for it?
Maybe - but the Ministry asks the Oleh to get the documentation themselves, and gives no guidance on what exactly is needed. It also isn't listed on any Oleh guide that I have seen that the candidate Oleh is expected to provide their own criminal record. Also, I haven't be able to find anywhere exactly what type of criminal record the ministry is expecting the Oleh to provide. I have been running around with this for over a month - trying to understand exactly what they expect me to provide. If they want a background\criminal check - I am sure they have the capability of doing it themselves... My spouse became a naturalized US citizen, and she was never asked to provide a criminal record from her home country... They may have discretely run it themselves, but without the associated hassle.
