Do countries visited (Visit Visa) for more than 6 months should be listed?

Hi all,
I just wanted to get further clarity on what qualifies to be listed as countries that were lived in for more than 6 months. In my case, i stayed in the US for a period for 1.5 years. I have entered the US on visit visa and after 5 months, i applied to change my visitor visa to a student visa which was a process that took one year in total. This was in the year 2002. Do i need to list it as countries i lived/stayed in for more than 6 months?

And if yes, how can i obtain a police certificate from the US if i am currently living and staying the United Arab Emirates?

Thank you and i appreciate your input on the above.

Best regards,
Moe

Yes you do have to list it...and you can apply police clearance cert. to FBI. as mentioned in every countries PCC procedure.

Thank you Preet. I would appreciate if someone applied for an FBI certificate from UAE shed some light on the process followed.

I tried contacting the American Consulate in Abu Dhabi who directed me to the Canadian Consulate in Abu Dhabi but i could not get through to anyone to ask.

Thank you
