CIR - Criminal history question

Is the criminal history check only internal for the US or will they also request background checks from the country of origin?
I was falsely accused and sentenced for fraud I did not commit (even though my co worker did it). I haven´t done anything wrong here in the US yet.
Sorry, if the question was asked before. I couldn´t find it.

PS:
Sorry, just noticed it´s in the wrong section. Please move it to the right one.

Good question, I don't think so though.

I did hear on the news that persons applying must not have committed crimes in their home countries but I believe they're just going to care or will be able to find out only about major crimes.

I hope you´re both right.
I came here on a Visa Waiver and overstayed and if it was a major crime (which it is definitely not) the FBI would´ve been here already to send me back home. I mean they could easily find out where I live through my bank account addresses and such things.

I haven´t done anything wrong here in the US yet.

don't do anything bad period. or else you are DOOM!

Probably just Canada since they share information together but if you are not from Canada, I wouldn't worried unless your some wanted drug cartel member or something.

However, I did read here somewhere a long time ago, these background checks were done internationally. Whether this is true or not I don't know.


Can you explain this further more?

you were accused, then charged, then sentenced, I suggest you contact a lawyer if you haven't and ask for his/hers opinion on this. I think you might be the first here with this in your name
