If you were in the US for six months or more - then you need a police certificate from there. Whether you are a citizen of the US or not has no influence.

Instructions are here:

Yes, you need it.  You are to submit a police clearance (in the case of the US, FBI clearance) from every country you have lived in for more than 6 months after age 18.

Find out which branch of your local police/constabulary is responsible for Criminal Records.  Tell them you need to have your fingerprints taken for transmission to the FBI.  They will fingerprint you manually, and someone in authority will sign the form and check your ID to make sure you are who you say you are.

Purchase a US$ bank draft for $18 payable to The Treasury of the United States and follow the instructions below on where to send the fingerprints and payment.
