I moved to California for a temporary stay on the 31st January 2019 and I arrived in the evening. I'm not sure which month I should put for my personal history entry. To put that I was there from January seems incorrect as I was barely there for a few hours of that month.
I left California in July, before the 31st. So if I put for this entry that I was there from January to July, the system assumes I was there for all of January and all of July (which I wasn't) and therefore considers that I was in the USA for 6 months or over (which I wasn't) and therefore requires me to submit a police certificate.
It would be difficult for me to get a police certificate so I'm not sure what the best approach here is. I know the rule for police certificates is 6months+ but I don't meet that threshold (although I was close).
Given that there is no option to include a date/day in this section, I'm guessing this is an approximate history. In which case I would be fine putting February.
Advice appreciated.
Thank you.
