Police Report in the USA

My Fiance has her interview date with the Irish Embassy next Tuesday and she was double checking her forms when she noticed that it says she needs a Police Certificate from the town she lived in the USA since she was there for more than a year. She did overstay her visa now and I cant find any information and the Police Department i called doesnt know anything either. Any info would be helpful. Thanks, Mike

thanks so much- yes my fiance has filed the I 129f form in the states that was in april of this year- i got my interview for 26 june, it has just been a night mare so far as our lawyer that we hired never sent in our documents so we have been trying to do this ourselves .. i did ger sone forms from the embassy detailing medical, police certs and all of that- i also completed ds-230 part one as the requested- i am soo worried at the moment- your help is really appreciated!
Thank you!!
Your fiancee did file I-129F to the USCIS and it has been processed? You may want to do a timeline to give us a better understanding.

K-1 will need DS-156 (2 copies) and DS-156K, as well as perhaps DS-157 (2 copies)

SEE:

Note DS-156 is an online form that generates a unique barcode on page 3, just print this out twice.

I went up thinking that I had every form that I needed filled out and when I got to the counter the gentleman asked me where my DS-156 was! I just froze! :crying:

he was really nice and gave me the opportunity to go to a hotel to fill it out but there systems were down and to make a long story short I had to reschedule my interview for Monday 2 July.
I would really appreciate it if some one could please list off the forms that I need to have completed for this visa...
Currently I have:

DS 158

that is me-- ya i was posting about the k-1 visa- i am still in the middle of doing up all the forms that i "THINK" that i need for monday- u see when the embassy sent out my interview letter at the end of it there was encl. packet 4-- but nothing arrived with the package and when I rang them up to ask them about it they told me that there was nothing supposed to come with the letter-- so I got such a landon tue when I went up and realised that I had not filled out some forms-- sooo I went onto visajourney and got a list of all the forms associated with the k-1 and am now in the process of completing all of them regardless of whether i need them or not-- to be honest i am unsure about my time line- i know that we started submitting paperwork in january this year. also i found that a date is wrong on one of the foems that I submitted so I am redoing that and hopefully they will acccept it on monday-- that u think???

Hmm... I never had to fill out a DS-158, hadn't even heard of it (just looked it up on the Department of State's website though, and it looks to me like you do need to fill in your parents' & siblings' addresses, wherever they are) - maybe someone else knows more and can help.

But where are you in the process? Weren't you posting about your interview in the K-1 forum the other day? (Could you fill out a timeline, it'll help people know what stage you're at so they can give better answers!)

Hopefully someone will come along who knows about this mysterious DS-158... but I'm moving this to the foreign consulate & embassy forum, as I'm pretty sure that's where it belongs!

ACTUALLY JUST DID THE CALCULATIONS AGAIN AND I OVERSTAYED BY 363 DAYS!!!SOOOOO WHAT U THINK???

HI-- THANKS FOR YOUR POST--
I ENTERED THE STATES ON 7 NOV 2002 AND LEFT IT ON 3 FEB 2004 SO THAT GIVES ME 426 DAYS IN TOTAL IN THE COUNTRY. SO IF I TAKE THE 90 DAY AUTOMATIC ENRTY VISA AWAY FROM THAT I GET 336 DAYS THAT I OVERSTAYED MY VISA BY. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE COUNTRY SINCE THAT DATE-- SO IF I CAN FIND ALL THE RELEVENT DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THIS I SHOULD BE OK RIGHT????

A waiver will be needed.

Not if they can show the overstay was less than 1 year. It has already been more than 3 years since they left.

Hi- I am located in Killarney and at the moment am demented with trying to get paper work together to prove the entry and exit dates.
I have gotten a copy of the ticket that I purchased from the travel adgent for entering the country on 7th nov 2002 and am not going through so much red tape with trying to get my it on paper about my return date on 3feb 2004-- this is such a night mare- they were really horrible up at the embassy- have not slept really at all with all of the worry :wacko:

it is just horrible

I am sorry to hear about your trouble. I am also a little worried about this happening as I overstayed my F-1 student visa by a couple of months so as I could stay with my fiance longer. I know that I had 60 days of extended stay as a freebe with the visa, but I ended up staying for 120 days. (Visa ended early May 2005 with extended stay until early July, I stayed until the start of Sept).

I'm also applying for the actual visa at Dublin, as we relocated here from the UK last year. I guess I should contact my bank in the UK and get statements for the period of time I was in the States, the record of my paying for my flight home and records of withdrawls when I came home. Hopefully that will be okay to prove that I came back. I'm a little worried with regards to the three year ban as that won't expire until next Sept.

Good luck with getting it sorted out. Where are you located, btw? We're in Cork.

WELL ONCE AGAIN I WENT THE LONG ROAD TO DUBLIN AND ONCE AGAIN I DID NOT GET MY VISA-
I NEED TO PROVE MY DATES OF ENTRY AND EXIT OF THE COUNTRY WHEN I OVER STAYED MY VISA
I ENTERED IN 7-NOV-2002 AND LEFT ON 3-FEB 2004, AS I LOST MY PASSPORT I DO NOT HAVE ANY RECORD
OF THIS.. i HAVE RANG THE AIRLINE AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS THAT LONG
SO I AM GUESSING THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN PROVE IT IS BY CONTACTING INS?? DOES ANYONE KNOW
HOW TO DO THIS OR HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME???
HE ALSO STATED THAT I MIGHT NOT BE ELIGABLE FOR AN IMMIGRANY VISA CAN SOMEONE PLEAS HELP ME!!

An overstay of 180+ days gets a 3 year ban. An overstay of 1 year gets a 10 year ban. I imagine they are attempting to determine which ban to impose. If it's the 3 year ban, it is already over. If it's the 10 year ban, you will be denied the visa and will need to apply for a waiver that may or may not be granted. How long was your authorized stay when you overstayed?

My 3 year ban is allready over and now legal to go into the states. I just have to prove that it was 3 years.

Annie+Mike,

The common line here at VJ is that there is no reason to consult with an attorney if one has a straight-forward, un-complicated case.

You knew that your case had a possible issue, yet you chose to make an assumption rather than have a consultation with an attorney to find out? The outcome might well have been the same, but you would have been ready for it and prepared in advance to take the next step of applying for a waiver rather than reeling in shock.

Lesson to others here.

Yodrak

I would still consider getting the help of a competant immigration attorney, particularly if they are wrong about the 10 year (vs. 3 year) ban.
the problem with that was that we did consult a lawyer-- hired one, filled out all of his paperwork and when we consulted him on our case 3 months later he had not even submitted our paperwork! He did not give us a reason to doubt our case even though we gave him all the information
In hindsight perhaps we should have gotten another lawyer..

Truthfully, there isn't anything a lawyer can do unless and until you received the denial - except possibly begin preparing the paperwork for the inevitable waiver. Granted, if he did not mention to you that he forsaw any issues, then he probably wasn't very competant (at least not in the area of immigration).

Well there is use addressed the lawyer issue if he's guilty of malpractice, in which case, you may be able to recoup your money or perhaps more importantly, protect other unknowing clients from being harmed by his negligent legal work. Report him to the state bar at once.

And we're still missing facts here I think - I can't figure out how long you thought you could stay or when you started counting 90 days from or after, etc . . . .

I entered the stated on 7th November 2002- at that time I was on a 90 day holiday visa that all europeans get which would have allowed me to be in the states Legally until 6th february 2003-
I didn't leave the states until 3rd february 2004 which means that I overstayed by 362 days. However the embassy are including the 90 days in their calculations which puts me being in the states for 452 days.. Is this any clearer for you??
ya.. i guess there is no point in crying over spilt milk and all of that-- at this point it is just a question of putting all of our energy into the waiver although from what I have heard they and not successful 9 times outta 10-- Anyway time to change focus again.. Thanks for all of yere help.. Annie+Mike

No offense, if you break the laws then you have to live with the consequences. You're lucky that you have the possibility to use a waiver, but generally speaking this is what everybody deserves for staying illegally.

Yes but in all honesty it is a little crappy when I overstayed to be with my future husband!! We have our secure relationship and now we cannot set up a future together in the US!! We will be married for god sake.. to be honest I think that it is BS.. The only thing that I did was fall in love! I have no convictions or character flaws and there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to love!

If your overstay was less than a year, then it should not be a 10 year bar.

10 years it the penalty for overstay of 1 year or more. 180 days to a year is 3 year bar, if you overstayed by 90 days this should not warrent such a bar.

You may have to file I-601 to get a waiver.

yes but i started counting my overstay AFTER the 90 days that I was there i.e. I entered the states on 7 nov 2002 and exited 3 feb 2004.
Because Irish people r intitled to a 90 day holiday visa I assumed that my overstay started after that?? i.e. 91 days in US would be 1 day of over staying?
Am I wrong???

So you were in the US for a total of 453 days, then (if I've worked it out properly).... which is an overstay of 363 days. So surely that should be a 3-year ban, not a 10-year one.... I think?! Did you manage to prove to the CO the exact dates you were in the US - I remember you saying before that you didn't have any evidence of when you entered & left the country. Sounds like they think you had over a year of overstay...?

Yes I went up to them yesterday with all of the information that I had gotten from Aerlingus-- they say that it is a 10 year ban-- To be honest I am in chock and still confused!

had you ever overstayed, even for just a few days, besides this one time? Overstays are cumulative--you don't just count the longest overstay, you add them together.

No this is the only time that I over stayed :blush:

Question re: vacation in states

Hi Guys,

This may be a really silly question but I said that I would put it out there anyway.

I applied for a k-1 visa and was denied due to an overstay. The US Embassy stated that I have a 10 yr ban. Since then I have married my fiance and we are appealing the Embassy decision.
My question is- My husbands brother is getting married next Sept. Is there anyway that I can apply to the embassy to see if they can grant me a waiver for a week so that I can attend the wedding?
Anybody?

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

Travelling outside of USA

HI Everyone

,

Just a general question in relation to traveling outside of the USA while being processed.
Currently I am being processed at the Vermont center in relation to lifting restrictions on my status here in the USA- I filed this on June 13 2011 and am planning on returning home for the Christmas holidays.

I am just wondering if you know if it is ok to do this if I have not heard anything from the immigration center??? Will I be allowed back into the country or do you think I will have trouble???

Any info shared would be appreciated

If it's CR-1 (rather than a K-1 like your profile says) why don't you enter before then, get the I-551 stamp and then go back to Ireland? Once you have the stamp you can travel freely and you'll probably save on shipping costs- two trips, two chances to bring things over in your suitcases!

wow thats great-- thanks so much for the info-- where do I get teh I-551 stamp? at immigration at the airport?? is that time limited??? thanks for the info sooo helpful

yes that's the stamp that you get when you go through immigration at the airport. they'll take your brown envelope, process you, stamp the passport and then you'll officially be a permanent resident. it's meant to act as your green card until you get the physical one in the mail. i think the stamp will be valid for a year (even though your conditional residency is for 2 years).

Thanks sooo much I really appreciate it!! that is great to know-- roll on the wedding and the states yahoo!!!

I think you need an I-601 waiver to overcome the 10-year ban. It's a waiver of inadmissibility in which the US citizen has to prove "extreme hardship" of living in the alien's country. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. but I believe if you get married it invalidates K-1 visas or any appeals of denials of K-1s, as they are only for fiances. You might want to consult a lawyer, I-160s are not that simple.

At present i think that it is the I-601 that we have filed I was just confused as to whether the fact that we got married meant that that form was null and void and that there was a different form we needed to fill our as a result.
