FBI Certificate for PR

[Rihan89]

Hi
I am planning to apply for PR soon. However, there is one thing that we all should a criminal record from the FBI.
In my case, I was in the US on a student visa and changed the status to B2 visitor visa. While on visitor visa a worked for 4 months paying taxes and so on. I left the 2 months before my visitor visa was expiring. Will this affect my PR application and will the FBI put that 4-month work on my FBI police clearance record? I have not been arrested, deported or committed any crime in the US

Please share if you have some knowledge on the matter.

1 - Did you live in the US for more than 6 months? If not, you do not need a PCC
2 - The fact that you left before your visa expired won't affect you whatsoever.

Cheers
