Hi, folks. Got a question on the criminal record for the D7 visa. I had been a Chinese citizen for 30 years before I gained my US citizenship. So do I need to get criminal records from both countries or do I just need the criminal records from the US ?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you need to get it from both countries.

I see. I thought it could be either one since the conjunction ”or” is used here

We need to prove our conduct wherever we live. Our behaviour in one country may not be the same as in another country... simple as that.
