Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Hoping someone can advice me about a cimt
I was never convicted though. I was only cautioned.. It never went to court. Will I still need to get something else like one of those subject access things?

:D thank you. It's all very confusing this visa stuff. So I should be ok then? I won't have to file a waiver?

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Hoping someone can advice me about a cimt
I got my police certificate back today and it has one caution on it from april 2008 for a minor crime. Theft under £30.. it was stupid I don't need anyone to tell me haha. I just wondered what steps i need to take now and if i'll get denied at my interview and have to file a waiver? Do I need to get a more detailed description from the police about what happened or what? There was no jail time or anything like that. Thanks in advance :D

Does having a caution mean you were charged though? haha.. I'm so useless.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)ds-230 question 40
Ok so i posted this in the cr-1 forum but no one answered so i figured i'd ask here. If its in the wrong place just move it :) but..

i have a caution on my police certificate for a minor shoplifting offense over 3 year ago. It never went to court and i was never convicted or anything like that. I know shoplifting is a cimt so on question 40 where it asks if you're:

an alien convicted of or who admits having committed a cimt

do i tick yes or no? cos i'm not sure if it comes under some petty offense act or something.

Then later on, on Q41 it asks if you have ever been charged, convicted or arrested. Do i need to tick yes to that as well?

arghh im so confused.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Does anybody else's subject access have a NON conviction on it
Just curious to what it means..

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Has anyone not needed a waiver with cimt?

off the top of my head, and my experience, its most likely the misrep charge that you will be given at the interview, that is the hardest to overcome. london doesnt look upon that too kindly, but it is possible to overturn. laurel scott still does her free online chats on a wednesday, and you can also post her a question thru i2us.
my interview experience was not nice at all. i had an overstay of less than 1 year and the c.o. was not the easiest person to speak to regarding this. wasnt interested in the reasons in the slightest. however, i had my waiver package and i601 ready and handed it in directly after the denial at the interview.
good luck.



That sucks :( We'll probably write our own waiver too.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Has anyone not needed a waiver with cimt?

Like advocator said, Steven Heller is more reasonable than most and is very accessible. We actually went to his office when I was over visiting in February. He's genuine and thorough....I can't say enough good things about him. And this was after having a very poor experience with a local attorney. You can speak with him or email and describe your situation - and he will be able to tell you if he thinks a waiver is necessary.


I did email him but he said it was £200 to have an appointment and he's in brighton and thats 4 hour away from me and i just cant afford that at the moment. Can he just do skype sessions? Has anyone wrote their own waiver and ha success?

We are using Steven Heller and he has been wonderful! Unfortunately, the USCIS is operating at a 9 month turnaround for completing cases. It's all very distressing when you want to be together.

Good luck!



Is he expensive? I'm hoping we'll not need a waiver but its looking that way :(

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Has anyone not needed a waiver with cimt?

This is a tricky one...I have been researching & trying to decipher the INA code for over 2 yrs now, and I think you just won't know until you interview. I am certainly not a lawyer or expert in inadmissability & waivers, but my suggestion is to be prepared for a denial and I-601. Maybe you should consult with a solicitor since you are getting close to interview time, even if its just to inquire how it will affect your son's visa. Are you a member of immigrate2US.net? some good advice on waivers..I hope you won't need it though. Best of Luck!



No I'm not a member of immigrate2us.net but i'll sign up now :) I've read so many conflicting things about cimt and i just dunno what to expect. We'll defo get a waiver ready though. Someone said laurel scott is a good lawyer so i may do an email consultation with her (i assume she/he's a female haha).

We filed for cr-1's. We're at nvc stage. I wouldn't be able to wait 6 month cos i've been using the vwp. I dont think i should have been using it but it didn't cross my mind till my subject access papers came back with a caution and fine on. :( I think i'll defo need a waiver.. Also, i wondered who it was who added me on fb haha. :)

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Has anyone not needed a waiver with cimt?

Hey!
I was in the same situation. I did the same thing, and paid a fine. I do not have a criminal record, and never served any time.
I was truthful on my application (I-485) and provided all the paper work showing that the charges were dropped and I do not have a criminal record.
I was approved for my I-131 and work auth. and went for my I-485 interview. at the interview I was approved. the lady said i would get my green card within a month.
2 months later, I got a letter in the mail saying i needed to file a I-601. even though I was never charged, they still wanted me to do it! and i only had 1 month to file it.

I filed Dec 29th, and still waiting.
you should prepare to file, maybe have it all ready and hand it over to them if they request it. but don't bring it up unless they do, but be truthfull with everything

let me know if you need anymore help. pm me or write on here if u need to. :)



That sucks :( So i guess we should get a waiver ready for the interview. I hope I dont need one but to be honest i'm guessing i will. I wonder how long that will set us back. I just dunno what will happen about my son cos he cant go without me.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Has anyone not needed a waiver with cimt?
I'm only just asking this cos i didnt even think that the fine would come up on my subject access paper. I was honest when filling in the ds-230 and admitted to the caution but it doesnt ask anything about fines. Grr. I'm not very good at this immigrating business. Just the one caution is on my police certificate. The fine and the caution are both on the subject access. I mean, If i need a waiver then i'll just have to be positive about it and have it ready but i'm hoping i wont need one.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Has anyone not needed a waiver with cimt?
Ok so, I've been trying to figure out whether we'll need a waiver or not. Just over 3 years ago i got a fixed penalty fine for shoplifting under £25 and then a caution for shoplifting again :( I was stupid.. I know. I've been using the vwp and im not even sure if i should have been using it. The caution showed up on my police certificate but not the fine.. The fine did show up on the subject access papers though. I didnt have any jail time or anything like that. We applied for a cr-1 visa for me and my son who is 3 and are currently at the nvc stage. I wanna know what will happen to my sons visa if he gets approved and i dont because if it takes more than 6 months for a waiver to be approved then wont his get cancelled if it isn't activated? I'm so confused and just wondering if people can tell me their experiences and if they needed a waiver or not. Thank you

United KingdomAre you required to get a subject access for a caution?

I have read that people whose police report says "No live trace" rather than "No trace" get a subject access report. I don't even know what a subject access report is, just passing on something I've read.

Here's some past discussion:



My police certificate came back with a caution on it.. It doesn't say no trace or no live trace.. it just says.. caution. Hmm.. A caution isn't a charge or a conviction. I guess i'ill just see if they request it at my interview :)

United KingdomCIMT'S AND LONDON EMBASSY
Well.. I had a caution for shoplifting from 2008 and a warning for shoplifting too but only the caution was on my police certificate. Both the offenses were on the subject access though. Stupid mistakes.. i know. I was approved and had no problems at my interview. The lady interviewing me did ask about the caution and I told her the truth then she said "oh well.. these things happen". I never went to court though so i didn't have a formal judgement of guilt. Do you have convictions or cautions?
JPKandCAKNot TellingEngland2011-11-02 08:15:00
United KingdomPolice Certificate & MOC Question
As for the caution i don't think you'll need anything else. I had a caution for theft from 2008 and the woman who interviewed me didn't ask to see anything regarding it. She just asked what happened and then said "oh well, these things happen"

Good luck :)

Also, can you still fly on the vwp if you have a caution but have never been arrested cause if not I think I may have done something wrong.. :wacko:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurespost natal depression

It shouldn't affect it, especially if you didn't try to kill yourself or someone else. Worst thing that could happen is that they send you for a psych evaluation.

I had PTSD in the past, including counselling and being on anti-depressants. The doctor at my medical said as it was several years ago and I didn't try to kill myself, he wouldn't even put it in the report.



Oh thats good then. :) I worry too much. Haha. I didn't try and kill myself or anything like that. I should be ok then.
